I’m trying to figure out how I can access the keys/data within a Dictionary object from within a public function. The basic code structure looks like this:
package {
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
public class TriviaGame extends MovieClip {
public var dict:Dictionary = new Dictionary(true);
public function askQuestion() {
var answerField:TextField = createText(answer,answerFormat,answerSprite,0,0,450);
dict[answerField] = answerField;
trace("dict[answerField] = " + dict[answerField].text);// Gives correct data
}
public function clickAnswer(event:MouseEvent) {
finishQuestion();
}
public function finishQuestion() {
trace(dict[answerField]); //Error 1120: Access of undefined property answerField.
}
}
}
I thought that the Dictionary would be accessible throughout the public class but that doesn’t seem to be so. I don’t understand why the key becomes undefined when accessed from another function. What do I need to do to reach “dict” from within the finishQuestion() function?
