What is more optimized?

Dear Adobe users,

I want to make a turn based game. In the game you have more then one frame, but the vars of one frame need to be ajusted by another frame. I thought, lets make a class as a var holder, named varHolder.as. Then put all the vars that I need for more frames in that class and import it to the framecontroll classes.

My questions are:

What is more optimized?

Everytime calling to the class (example: varHolder.wood ==1 )

Or,

creating new vars, giving them the value of the varHolders var and then at the end of the turn send the vars value's back to the varHolder.as. (example: wood = varHolder.wood

Or,

Is there a better way of doing this ?

I'm really just a starter so sorry if this is a noob question. I personally think the second option, because then you don't have to call the other class all the time. Although I don't know is that is hard on your pc or not.

Hope you guys/girls can help,

Casper

Correct answer kglad

creating less variables is more efficient than creating more variables.

variables created on any frame of a timeline are available on all other frames of that timeline.  and they are available on other timelines but you need to use a path between the timelines.

by using a class with static variables you don't have to pay attention to timelines and paths.  of course, that obviates one of the upsides of oop.
