Declaring it within a function will make the variable LOCAL (= usage in that function only). You only declare it outside, once and (re)use it as often as you like.
HTH Cor -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of David Benman Sent: vrijdag 8 januari 2010 12:16 To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] Declaring Function Variables What's the best practice for declaring reused variables within a function in AS3? For example, if you use "count" several times in your function, if you declare it at the start of your function, "var count:Number;" it makes it harder to cut and paste your code for use elsewhere but you get errors if redeclare it (like you could in AS2) throughout your script.
