A problem with DataFile.save... or not?!

[selimhanov]

Hi, everyone...
A weird thing is happening here with my scripting. When I write this...

//Initialize

var playerName = "something";
var file = "D:\\player.txt"; 
DataFile.save(file, "playerName");
Dialogs.msgBox(getAppDir());
getAdditionalFile()
return true;

Everything works just perfectly... I get a file on disk D and get a message box for testing. But when I want to use it as a function, like...

//Initialize

function saveInfo(){
	var playerName = "something";
  var file = "D:\\player.txt"; 
  DataFile.save(file, "playerName");
  Dialogs.msgBox(getAppDir());
};
saveInfo();
getAdditionalFile()
return true;

even when I call saveInfo() function from within flash, all the same, I get a message box with the supposed message but no file on disk D.
What is the reason?
Is it impossible to use DataFile commands in a function? I don't believe it can be true. But nothing else comes to my mind.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I've used SavedObject class... still useless. And I've set password for encryption in Resources.

I noticed that saving to datafile for some reason doesn't work with vars that are declared with var.
When I tried this, it worked:

//Initialize

function saveInfo(){
  playerName = "something";
  var file = "D:\\player.txt"; 
  DataFile.save(file, "playerName");
  Dialogs.msgBox(getAppDir());
};
saveInfo();
getAdditionalFile()
return true;

Thank u, meester. Yes, it works only with global variables. a "var" variable inside a function cannot be accessed by "DataFile".
