You only declare it outside, once and (re)use it as often as you like.
I would advise that it's best to avoid doing that. Most of the time it won't give you a problem, but then you'll spend some time trying to find out why that function call is messing up the loop count of the code it's called in.

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.
