passing a variable inside a function

[ldesign]

Hi all, here is the thing that is bugging me:
id = 1;
function somefunct(){
trace(id);
}
i need to pass the variable id inside the function ... anybody has an idea how ? (in this condition the trace prints undefined). Thanks in advance

function somefunct(var){
trace(var);
}

var = 1
somefunct(var)

i found a "cure" seems like you have to call the function after you have set the id to 1 ... so this is the code that works:
id = 1;
somefunct();
function somefunct(){
trace(id);
}
// this wont work !!!
somefunct();
id = 1;
function somefunct(){
trace(id);
}
for me its quite strange ... sorry for wasting your time ... Thanks for the help ;)

ok thats why your not passing anything to the function like that
change it to:


function somefunct(){
trace(id);
}

id = "1";
somefunct(id); <--- this line calls the function and passes the vaue of id to it
