now the question is (even if it maight seen silly but i don't get the
concept yet), what is the difference between declaring the variables before
methods (after the class declaration) and declaring them inside the method
itself, or even in the method parameters???
In short, declaring them on the class creates a class property, one that
lives on. Declaring it inside a method creates a temporary variable that
is lost once the method/function is over. 'Declaring' it on the
parameter is the same.
Be careful though:
function setName(name) {
var myName:String;
name = myName;
}
I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but this method does nothing
at all. It receives a parameter, creates an empty/undefined String, and
assigns this empty string to the variable that has received the
parameter, overwriting the parameter value. I'm not sure what you're
trying to do, but you're probably not understanding how the scope chain
works inside actionscript, that names are merely links to a variable,
and that they aren't global. You could have several variables or
proprties of the same name accessible from the same scope.
