How to call a function with parameters action script 3

Question

im trying to make a function that will be used in multiple projects and save , load or display a high score table depending on the parameters entered. my current code is

function test(action:String):void {
    if (action == "loadHS") {
        trace("loading")
    } else if (action == "save") {
        trace("saveinghs")
    } else if (action == null) {
        trace("please provide an operation for high score table")
    } else {
        trace(" the action" + action + "is not a valid action");
    }
}

test(loadHS);

witch creates the following compiler error.

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 14  1120: Access of undefined property loadHS.

what am i doing wrong? thanks :)

The variable loadHS is not yet defined. This means it is declared, but you need to give it a value to define it.

var loadHS:String = "loadHS";

changed code to var action:String function test(action:String):void { if (action == "loadHS") { trace("loading") } else if (action == "save") { trace("saveinghs") } else if (action == null) { trace("please provide an operation for high score table") } else { trace(" the action" + action + "is not a valid action"); } } test(action = "loadHS"); witch fixed it, thanks :)

You need to use quotes to define a String literal.

test("loadHS");

Without quotes, ActionScript is expecting to find a variable that you've created named loadHS.
