Flash cs5: Set a variable using a function, then read that variable from a differect function

I have a public variable and I am trying to set it, then read it from a different function:

public var str:String;

public function DailyVerse() 
{
    function create() {
        str = "hello";
    } 

    function take() {
        var message:String = str;
        trace(message);
    } 
    take();
}

My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?

I'm not sure why you have this set up this way.... if you want to get and set variable, you use the getter and setter syntax for flash.

private var myRestrictedString:String;

public function get DailyVerse():String {
   if(myRestrictedString == undefined) {
      //Not yet created
      myRestrictedString = "Something";
   }
   return myRestrictedString;
}

public function set DaileyVerse(string:String):void {
   myRestrictedString = string;
}

Now you can access this from outside of your class like so:

myClass.DailyVerse = "Test";
trace(myClass.DailyVerse); //Outputs "Test"
