If I have a function and then set the parameters if I then have a function within that function can I use the parametes of the first function to set parameters for the second function.

[AS]  
function thing(a,b){  
//do something  
if(\_root.whatever== true){  
function secondThing(copyA,copyB)  
}  
}  
[/AS]  
Or must I just create variables for it and then just use them?  
[AS]  
function thing(a,b){  
this.a = a  
this.b = b  
//do something  
if(\_root.whatever== true){  
function secondThing(this.a,this.b)  
}  
}  
[/AS]  
If you know of a better way then feel free to chuck that at me too :D.  
This shouldn’t be too tasking for you lol.
