Creating variables that carry over from scene to scene?

Hey all,

I’m new to AS, but have plenty of other programming language experience.

I’m working on a project that requires a numeric value to be stored in one scene and called in another- is this possible in ActionScript.

For example, I need to create a timer that times how long it takes for the user to preform the action, and save the value. In the next scene, I need that same value from before to be called in that scene. Is it possible?

Thanks
