Javascript - Checking if variable has been set gives me undefined error

I am trying to detect if a variable - play_status - has been set or not in javascript like this..

$lg.on('afterslide', function(event, prevIndex, index){

    if (play_status) {
        console.log('Play Defined')
    }

    iframe = $('.inner .item').eq(index).find('.vimeo').get(0);
    var player = $f(iframe);

    player.addEvent('ready', function(index) {

        player.addEvent('play', function() {
            var play_status = index;
        });

    });

});

But when I run it for the first time (when no variable is set) then I get the following error...

Uncaught ReferenceError: play_status is not defined

Where am I going wrong?

looks like you only declared play_status when you add event play to player, so its not defined outside that scope
