Or, something I used to do before I moved away from using globals completely, 
was to use properties of a script cast member.

Eg, have a script cast member called "globals".

In that script, you define a property for each 'global' var you want, eg:

-------- script("globals") --------------

property myVar, myOthervar, myThirdVar

-----------------------------------------



Then, at any other point in your movie, you can refer to it like this:

  script("globals").myVar = 100
  put script("globals").myVar

Or to make it prettier and faster, you could create a reference to the script 
cast member before using it, like this

  globals = script("globals")
  globals.myVar = 100
  put globals.myVar
