Question

I would like to know, in Flex 4.5.1, if there is a way to create a static variable in a member function, something like bellow:

public function myFunction():void {
    static test:Object = null;
}

Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

No, you have to define static variables in a class, but you can assign a value later in your function.

public class MyClass {

    private static var test:Object;

    public function myFunction():void {
        test = new Object();
    }
}
