Scripting File

```auto
_global.counter = function() {
    if (!counterId) {
        counterId = 0;
    }
    counterId++;
    return (counterId);
};
_global.incValues = function() {
    // Values
    this.getValues = function(startValue, endValue) {
        // Make New Array
        incArray = new Array();
        // arrange high to low loop
        if (startValue>=endValue) {
            for (i=startValue; i>=endValue; i--) {
                incArray[Math.abs(i-startValue)] = i;
            }
            incArray.reverse();
        }
        // arrange low to high loop            
        if (startValue<=endValue) {
            for (i=startValue; i<=endValue; i++) {
                incArray[Math.abs(i-startValue)] = i;
            }
            incArray.reverse();
        }
        return (incArray);
    };
    // Interval Switch
    this.intSwitch = function(incArray, intLength) {
        incLength = incArray.length;
        interval = function () {
            incLength--;
            if (incLength<=0) {
                clearInterval(intSI);
            }
            finalValue = incArray[incLength]; // THIS VARIABLE <---------
        };
        intSI = setInterval(interval, intLength);
    };
};
stop();

```

Main File

```auto

#include "scripting.as"
boxIncValues = new incValues();
arrayvalues = boxIncValues.getValues(0, 100);
boxIncValues.intSwitch(arrayvalues, "100");
stop();

```

Basically I would like to beable to pull that variable from the functions as a return or a non-assigned variable so I can use them seperately to apply alpha/position ect… to objects.

Perhaps add them to the \_global array of variables?
