Need help with declaring var for multiple functions

[onurcan1977]

hi, how to declare a variable that can be accessible for some functions, and recreatible with "new" command, using or without using packages?

function showWindow(event:MouseEvent):void {
	currentButton = event.target.name;
	var holder:DisplayObjectContainer=new DisplayObjectContainer();
	addChild(holder);
	
	loader = new SWFLoader("swf/showwindow.swf", {onComplete:onLoadSWF, container:holder, width:200, height:200, x:0, y:0, hAlign:"left", vAlign:"top", centerRegistration:true});
	addChild(loader.content); //add the ContentDisplay to the display list even before raw content is loaded.
	loader.load();
}

function onLoadSWF(event:LoaderEvent):void {
	mc = loader.rawContent; //the root of the child swf
	mc.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeSwf);
	mc.topBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverHandler);
	mc.topBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, follow);
	mc.topBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOutHandler);

	setChildIndex(cursor_mc, numChildren-1);
	holder.x=200;
	holder.y=200;
	
	// Detect which button was clicked
	if (currentButton=="instanceCapitalLettersShow") {
		mc.show_txt.text=onCapitalClick();
	} else if (currentButton=="instanceSmallLettersShow") {
		mc.show_txt.text=onSmallClick();
	} else if (currentButton=="instanceNumbersShow") {
		mc.show_txt.text=onNumbersClick();
	}
}

my problem is two functions can't use one variable "holder". can anyone help me?
