call function

call(frame)

Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This action was deprecated in favor of the function statement.

Executes the script in the called frame without moving the playhead to that frame. Local variables do not exist after the script executes.

If variables are not declared inside a block ({}) but the action list was executed with a call() action, the variables are local and expire at the end of the current list.
If variables are not declared inside a block and the current action list was not executed with the call() action, the variables are interpreted as Timeline variables.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 4

Parameters

frame:Object - The label or number of a frame in the Timeline.

I have tested the call function in many ways but the variables, once created by the called frame they do not dissapear after returning to the calling code, so variables are nos local as the documentation says. They keep wasting memory until explicitly deleted.
