I load an image and add it to the MC someMC. If "something" is true, the someVariable gets the someMC scaleX number. Let's say its 0.82.

What I need is to get that number into the s.value in my Slider object. Since I want the Slider value to be where my image scale is.

This of course doesn't work because of variable scope limitations.

I have tried setting the variable at the top of the code like this:
var someVariable:Number;
but that didn't work either.

I'm looking for a solution without having to use package and class, since I'm not that steady with AS3 yet.


Here's some illustration code, for the whole code see under this:
Code:
	function completeHandler(event:Event):void{
		 if (something) {
			  var someVariable:Number = this.someMC.scaleX;
		 }
	}   
	
	
	var s:Slider = new Slider();
	s.maximum = 500;
	s.minimum = 10;
	s.value = someVariable;

I've uploaded all the code to Pastebin. Take a look



Any thoughts?
