My question is regarding actionscript/javascript in an adobe animate canvas/html5 project.
I have the following code:
Main timeline, Frame 0:
var tempArray = [1,2,3,4,5];
alert(tempArray[2]); // alert shows 3
Main timeline, Frame 50:
tempArray[2] = 3;
alert(tempArray[2]); // alert is ignored and doesnt print anything
WHY?
var variablename only belongs to this frame. When you get to frame 50 and talk to a variable with the same name, it doesn't really exist.
If you want to stash values to pick up in a different context, you could make the variable belong to something higher in the hierarchy. For example, this would work:
exportRoot.tempArray = [1,2,3,4,5];
alert(exportRoot.tempArray[2]); // alert shows 3
//Main timeline, Frame 50:
exportRoot.tempArray[2] = 8;
alert(exportRoot.tempArray[2]);would alert 3 and then 8.
