Re: Global variables inside JS

I suggest using the "Object" object instead. I don't recommend using the "this" object, since it causes QC to crash when used in the with(this){} construct. It sometimes crashes if you even try to type that!

Note that this isn't a global variable -- different patches won't see it. But it allows you to store a variable within a patch from iteration to iteration. See: 
http://www.quartzcompositions.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=95

I haven't tried to look for pre-existing properties in the object yet. I suspect you won't find anything interesting since 99% of QC won't exist within the _javascript_ paradigm.

someone was asking a while ago about global variable inside _javascript_ in quartz composer,


I noticed someone had posted on the quartzcompositions forums that this is possible,


just use the "this" object e.g


this.foo = 2;


creates a "foo" property with the value 2 on the runtime object, which is kept among executions of the patch
