assign result to variable to use later?

[heyder]

Wondering if I want to use the results of a "service call" (is that the right terminolgy?) later in a script do I need to assign it to a variable or does it already get stored as something?

ie...

function getPeople_Result(result) {
 peoplelist=result;
}

trace(peoplelist.items[0].name);

Since the returning object is a argument to the result handler, its scope is only valid in the result handler. Basically yes you need to assign it to a variable that can be accessed outside the function in order to use it later.

Thanks again.
