zsh exporting variables

I have a function inside a while loop, and this function needs use a value from the last run. I tried to export it, but it isn't working.
Doing some testing I found that this exports the variable:

func(){
  export var=`date +%N`
}

while :; do
  func
  echo $var
done

but how I used doesn't:

func(){
  echo $var
  export var=`date +%N`
}

while :; do
  echo `func`
done

How could I use the second sintax and export the variable?

Re: zsh exporting variables

I just want the variable at the script scope, but declare it in the script scope isn't working also.
