Hi  
I have a small problem related to the instance names of the variable.  
I have my DataGrid named “grid” dragged in first frame  
In AS I wrote  
trace(grid);  
I get \_level0.grid as output  
Now when I go to the 10th frame and do the same  
trace(grid);  
Flash says its undefined  
Is there anyway I can access the grid from 10th frame as I need to add data to grid only from 10th frame  
Many thanks!
