[Flashcoders] variable dissappears from one function to another

[Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle)]

on another note (so grateful for your help)

i seem to be losing part of my array from one function to another
var productArray:Array = [];  //<--contains 8 items, each of which  
has a variations parameter with 4 items in

function createVariationColumn(product:Number) {
        var productVariations:String;
        
	for (var i:Number = 0; i < productArray[product].variations.length; i 
++) {
		productVariations = "<p><a  
href='asfunction:_parent.itemOverlay,"+product+","+i+"'>I'd like to  
view this</a></p>";

//traces 8
                trace (productArray.length);

//traces 4
                trace (productArray[product].variations.length);
        }
}

function itemOverlay() {
//thanks Muzak :D
        var args:Array = arguments[0].split(",");
        var product:Number = args[0];
        var variation:Number = args[1];

//traces 8
                trace (productArray.length);

//traces undefined
                trace (productArray[product].variations.length);
}

so from one function call to the next function call, my variations  
parameter of productArray has disappeared (although productArray is  
still there)
