this s killing me and it might be simple for some of you guys. been on this since morning and I’m about to go crazy.

I’m having problem returning a value from a class. the problem is that i can’t get the value from the function inside the function. How would I manage to return the value from the inside function to the ‘get function’ to the fla file?  
\<as3\>

public function get value():String  
{  
//i declared variable on top and then move here to see if it work here. no  
var \_tempValue:String;  
\_stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET\_STATUS, statusHandler);  
function statusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent)  
{  
switch (event.info.code)  
{  
case “NetStream.Play.Start”:  
trace (“begin”); //I’m getting in here. yes

//want to pass \_tempValue to the fla file. not working  
\_tempValue = String(“begin”);  
break;  
case “NetStream.Play.Stop”:  
trace (“stop”);//I’m getting in here. yes  
//want to pass \_tempValue to the fla file. not working  
\_tempValue = String(“stop”);  
SoundMixer.stopAll();  
removeChild(\_video);  
\_video = null;  
\_stream.close();  
break;  
}  
}//END statusHandler  
\_value = \_tempValue;  
return \_value; //this will pass to fla if it gets value

}//END get value()
