understanding scope and m. variables (again)

still trying to understand how scope works in BrightScript. if in main() I define a var testvar="test" then is that variable automatically accessable from a function or a sub by using m.testvar...

Excellent idea! Here's a bit more generalized version for creating pseudo-globals for something like global config options and don't want to turn the entire app into a pseudo-object (which is a good idea but geeks be lazy):


Function constructConfig()
    m["config"] = createObject("roAssociativeArray")
End Function

Function getConfigValue(key as String) as Dynamic
    config = m["config"]
    return config[key] 
End Function

Function setConfigValue(key as String, value as Dynamic)
    config = m["config"]
    config[key] = value
End Function
