I have a question on global variables - i have created a number of simulation and chained them together running them in the sample below

```auto
val scn = scenario("RecordedSimulation").exec(Test1.Launcher,Test2.launcher)

```

the simulation are defined as objects like:

object Test1 {

val Launcher = exec(http(“Launch Site”)

.get("/")

.headers(headers\_1)

.check(css("#\_\_VIEWSTATE",“value”).saveAs(“ViewState”)))

}

object Test 2

val Launcher = exec)http(“launch site”)

```auto
.formParam("__VIEWSTATE", "${ViewState}")

```

}

```auto
 

```

The problem i have is that im not able save the view state as a variable and use it in the second test - do you have an example of how i can do this please.
