Thanks Axel, Emmanuel, and Michael for your input. I now have a better understanding of the mechanics of that particular situation and, since I've archived the relevant emails, a lot of useful reference material on the matter. Thanks again. But I still wouldn't mind hearing from Mr. Nebel (or anyone else who may know) about the underlying philosophy for this behavior. I now know how to enable child script objects to change the value of their parent's global variables, but I'm still curious as to why it is forbidden for a child script object to be able to set the initial value for a parent's global variable (I mean how could this be a bad thing?). I'm just the kind of guy who likes to know the fundamental reasons for things. Even if that reason turns out to be "Well, that's just the way it worked out during development and we haven't had any reason to change it..." That, at least, would alleviate my concern that there is some basic principal escaping me.
Anyway,
Thanks again guys
B!ll
