sym.setVariable Not working (HTML5)

[Guest]

I am trying to set a global variable for a loop and the code 'sym.setVariable' isn't working. The browser error is 'sym' is not defined.

I tried this.setVariable also but the error is setVariable is not a function.

Is that still the way to do it in the lastest version?

I'm setting it in the first frame of the project.

Nevermind, this works for and I can still access the var on another frame. I guess I was resetting the var on each loop.

if (!this.looped) this.looped = 0;

if (this.looped++ > 3) this.stop();
