Re: [Flashcoders] 1120: Access of undefined property

Because your function is static.

Either make your var static too:

public static var counter:int=0;

or make your function non-static.

I'm sure you can Google static/non-static class members, but in short,
anything that's non-static is only available from within a class
instance (i.e. someone needs to have called new StringUtils()).

HTH,

Because counter is a class property and your function is static.

Try this:

public static var counter:int = 0;
