I’m having some troubles with variables.  
In one frame, I have a function that is called which fills a variable called wordlist.  
whenever I trace wordlist or anything in the first frame (or other MC’s in the first frame), it works.However, I cannot wordlist returns undefined in frame 2.

I don’t understand what’s happening! This is really annoying!
