dynGlobals is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This node edits and queries the attributes of the active dynGlobals node in the scene. There can be only one active node of this type. The active dynGlobals node is the first one that was created, either with a "createNode" command or by accessing/editing any of the attributes on the node through this command.
