[Laszlo-dev] still confused about referencing node id's from methods

[Henry Minsky]

But we have to explicitly do a "with (...) " of that object to get the vars
in scope. I think only other way to get globals is to have it in its own .as
file at compile time like we do with various globals like the compiler flags
($swf9, etc)
package {
public var foo = 259;
}
