hi there, i would appreciate a clarification. let’s say i have a function  
\*\*  
function myFuction():void  
{  
var myArr:Array = new Array();  
…  
}\*\*

lets say that this array -during the first call of the function- gets filled with some data.  
Next time i will call the function, all these data will be entirely lost or they will go somewhere in the memory occupying space?

thanks in advance
