I'm changing an actionscript variable using javascript (SetVariable). What's the best way to "listen" for the variable changing in flash?

Is setinterval the best way?

i usually make a spare movieclip (in the shape of a 'c' for code) and place it off the top left of the stage. in there i can place things that need to control the movie as whole, and need to do work on every frame

UNTESTED
onClipEvent(load)
{
var oldVar:Number = _root.jSVar;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(oldVar != _root.jSVar)
{
oldVar = _root.jSVar;
_global.onJSVarChange();//do stuff
}
}
