How do I create variables that are globally available?

[dman65]

So far for variables that I need to access globally I have been creating an invisible label. While this works for strings and numbers, it doesn't work so well for objects.

Is there some method to go about declaring a variable that I would be able to access from any event that occurs?

For instance, someone searches for an employee and finds the right one. I might want to create a variable call glEmpID that holds that employee ID. Now when I perform any employee related actions the system uses that ID to access information about that employee.

Every linb.UI control has 'tag' and 'tagVar' properties.

(new linb.UI.SButton()) .setTag('id') .setTagVar({any:'object'}) .onClick(function(profile){     linb.alert(profile.boxing().getTag());     linb.alert(_.serialize(profile.boxing().getTagVar())); }) [/cde]
