Forgive me if this is a very simple question (which I am sure it is), but I am new to javascript and can't seem to figure out how to have a mouse click pass a global variable out of a js box outlet.

Basically I am trying to determine which of 2 boxes has been clicked. The rest of it works (I can post my global variable to the max window and see that it changes appropriately upon collision with a box).

What I want is for this to happen upon mouse click, with a '0' being nothing clicked, and the boxes as numbered.

I have attached my js file if someone wouldn't mind having a look.

Forgive me if this is a very simple question (which I am sure it is), but I am new to javascript and can't seem to figure out how to  have a mouse click pass a global variable out of a js box outlet.

when you declare a variable with the var keyword, it's global to your 

js code, but 2 instances of the same js file won't share the variable. 

You should have a look to the Global object for that.
