Is there any possibility I can “call” a local variable in a new function?  
for ex.

```auto

function createMainText():void{
       var dynText:TextField = new TextField();// local var
        stage.addChild(dynText);
	dynText.y=stage.stageHeight-80;	

}              
  stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resiz);

function resiz(event:Event):void 
// How can I "pass" this variable to the resiz function?
{ Tweener.addTween(dynText, {alpha:1, y:stage.stageHeight-80, time:0.3, transition:"easeIn"});
     } 

```
