Variable problem

[Ryan_]

Hi!! First i'd like to say that this comunity is really cool... :)
I'm starting to learn ActionScript and i have a question on global variables, this is the thing:
i create a movie clip and on frame 1 of that movie clip i write:
_global.country = "England";
then on the main timeline on frame 1 i write this:
trace(country);
and this returns Undefined!!!
is it allright? it should say England instead...
This question may seem very lame but i'm just starting!... please help me.

That's probably because the timeline runs before the movieclip runs. So you're asking for the variable before it's been set.

Hey, thanks! I think you're right.
Although my question was so simple, you took the job to answer it...that's very nice Laguana.
