accessing variables

[0gani]

how do I access a variable that was created in a function? For example


<code>
function create()
{
var myvariable:string='hello world';
}
trace myvariable
</code>





does anyone have a solution for this?

 

[billwatson]

function create()
{
var myvariable:string='hello world';
}
create()
trace(myvariable)

will give undefined if you use var within a function then the variable is local to the function and only available within the function to trace it outside the function drop the var
