Converting AS to html5 - changing variable within movieclip

Hello,

I have an old Flash ActionScript game I would like to convert to html5.

In a movieclip, I would change a variable located in the root using:

_root.heroStatus = "movingRight";

How would I do the same in html5?

Thanks

Hi.

One of the ways of doing this is to use the global exportRoot variable that is generated automatically in the publishing process. Like this:

exportRoot.heroStatus = "movingRight";

I hope this helps.

Thanks! I will try this. Does this only work when I publish, or will it work when I test in Animator too?
