Call String or Integer from another Function (actionscript 3)

I've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to describe here. Thanks in advanced!

EDIT: a piece of code

I have an 

var randomnummer1:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) +1;

This piece of code is inside the function

function bijMuisKnop(e:MouseEvent):void{ 
}

At another function I want to call the randomnummer1 at that moment.

function welkNummerKnop(e:MouseEvent):void{
NummerOpDatMoment = randomnummer1;
}

But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.

Rather than declaring the variable for the random number inside the handler function you should declare it once outside, so that the variable scope is available to both functions:

var randomnummer1:Number;

function bijMuisKnop(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    randomnummer1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) +1;
} 

function welkNummerKnop(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    NummerOpDatMoment = randomnummer1;
}

Have a class level variable (or a global variable) 

private var randomNumber:Number;

then, 

function bijMuisKnop(e:MouseEvent):void{ 
    var randomnummer1:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) +1;
    randomNumber=randomnummer1; //Assign to global variable
} 

function welkNummerKnop(e:MouseEvent):void{
    NummerOpDatMoment = randomNumber;
}
