:void vs. Returning and Receiving Information

var globalVariable:String ="Good Morning";    
var theReturnValue:String;  


function myFunction():void { 
    globalVariable  = " Good Night "; 
} 

myFunction();   
trace(globalVariable);   


//the change of the value changes inside that  function
//and the change is global, there is no need to return that value so the function is :void

function myFunctionThatReturnsSomething():String { 
    return (globalVariable + " Cat head");    
} 
trace(globalVariable); 

trace(myFunctionThatReturnsSomething());  



//the receiving function
//the value that you are passing is called an argument
function myOtherReturnThing(theVar):String { 
    return (globalVariable + "Round2" + theVar); 
}  

theReturnValue = myOtherReturnThing("You are Welcome ");  

trace(theReturnValue);

OUTPUT:

Address Book - Code

THE ADDRESS BOOK
fyi - you can make the password field have *** instead of showing the typed letters by:
1. select that textbox
2. under properties, paragraph, behaviors - select password


The code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;




var loginName:Array = ["Renee", "Donald", "Ross"];
var myPassword:Array = ["booyah", "master", "Higgins"];


var theFirstNames:Array = ["Ross", "Joe", "Renee", "Donald", "Brian", "Annelie"];
var theLastNames:Array = ["Higgins", "La Ponza", "Rose-Perry", "Quitangon", "Lee", "Zambrana"];
var theEmailAddress: Array = ["ai@aiiemail", "asdfas", "reneeroseperry@yahoo.com", "awesome@blah", "Zemail@email.com", "me@me.com"];
var theBirthdate: Array = [ "Mystery", "April 21", "November 16", "May 1", "February 20", "January 12" ];



/* var theSearchResult:Number = theFirstNames.indexOf("Joe");
trace(theLastNames[theSearchResult]);
//index of - it searches the array and returnes the index number of the searched position */

//first_txt.text = "";
search_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

   var theSearchText:String = first_txt.text;  //storing the typed text into a variable when the button is clicked
 


//use that first name var to find the index number

 var theSearchResult:Number = theFirstNames.indexOf(theSearchText) //state the array you want to search (theFirstNames)
//then use that index number to match it to the last name index number
// at this point if you trace(theSearchResult) it gives you the index number of the theSearchText


 var theLastName:String =   theLastNames[theSearchResult]
 var theEmail:String = theEmailAddress[theSearchResult]
 var theDob:String = theBirthdate[theSearchResult]
              

//display that index number (lastname)
