Stage Variable can also be called on click event?

Question

Good Day guys, i just started using edge, and would like to know if the variable i set on the stage creation complete can also be called on a click event?
something like this:
stage creation complete:
var x = function()
console.log("x");
on click event:
var y = function(){
console.log(x+y);

Hi,
You've got:
1) Within the same symbol:
sym.setVariable("the variable name", value); ==> as indicated (set) you set one value. For instance: sym.setVariable("x", 3). It means x=3.
sym.getVariable("the variable name"); ==> as indicated (get) it returns value. In your case: sym.getVariable("x") returns 3.
For instance:
creationComplete: sym.setVariable("x", 3);
click event: var y = sym.getVariable("x"); // now y=3;
2) Between symbols.
You add before: sym.getComposition().getStage().
sym.getComposition().getStage().setVariable("the variable name", value);
sym.getComposition().getStage().getVariable("the variable name");
For instance:
"Stage" symbol/compositionReady: sym.setVariable("x", "Hello World!");
"symbol1"/click event: sym.getComposition().getStage().getVariable("x") will return "Hello World!".
