Global properties, like global functions, can be accessed from any script in a movie. They store information that is generally useful from any point in our code. Many of them affect the entire Flash Player, not just a particular movie clip or movie.
Table 18-2 lists the global properties available in Flash 6, including the new global property _global. All other global properties listed in the table are available in Flash 5 as well.
