It's very simple: I have a generic object acting as a keyboard handler, and within the onKeyDown inline function I want to refer to an object on the same level as the handler object. An example should make it more clear: [code] var test = 12; var watch_keyboard = new Object(); watch_keyboard.onKeyDown = function() { trace("Key pressed."); trace(test); } Key.addListener(watch_keyboard); [/code] When I do this, hitting any key displays "Key pressed" as it should, but the variable [i]test[/i] is undefined. So I tried _parent.test, and _parent._parent.test (just to see), and nope. Same with _root.test, and so forth. I even tried this._parent.test. A newly-created object should be able to access variables that are available to the scope at which it was created, right? There has to be a way to do it, I just don't know what it is. edit: Sorry, a little itchy on the Post finger.
