Is it possible to pass a variable from MXML file to .as(Actionscript) file?

If possible then in the Actionscript file how to access the variable?

Can anyone help me wiyth code example regarding this problem?

[iptton]

in the MXML:
public var someVar:SomeType;


in as file:
import mx.core.Application;

//use the var
Application.application.someVar;

[tanusree]

This code is not working.
It's giving the variable name is not found.

I make a mistake........
someVar and somevar ....
notice the "v" and "V"....

Don't know if you're really talking about an external .as file, but those are used at compile time, and not at run time...

[tanusree]

This code is still not working.
It's still giving error.

[tanusree]

Can anyone help me out to how to do it.

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense. What do you mean by "an action script file"? Do you mean a class created in Actionscript? If you post some code or tell us what you're trying to do, we will be able to tell you what you're doing wrong.

Yeah you are right. I want pass a variable from MXML file to Actionscript class & access it within the class.

Create a new variable or property on your ActionScript class and pass your variable through that.

myASClassInstance.myVariable = variable;

Obviously, if you need to detect changes, you should look into using binding.
