I want to return more than one string result from a class file to a project
file.

Examples below:

THE CLASS FILE:

public function sayHello():String
{
result = "This is the first idea I have. ";
return result;
}

THE PROGRAM FILE:

private function initApp():void
{
var myTexter:Texter = new Texter;

output1.text = myTexter.sayHello();

This works fine into output1.text.

How can I use the class function sayHello() to return a second result, this
time into output2.text within the initApp project function?

}

Thanks,

BH

The simple answer is: you can't. Not very useful to you though. After
thinking about it for a while I find that there is a surprisingly high number
of ways to answer this, but I'll pick one (and it's not great).

In your class your function sayHello() does only one thing. It should
stay that way. If you want to return something else then write another
function: eg., sayGoodbye(). However, if you're hell-bent on returning
more than one thing from a function then just return an array (or better yet a
custom data object).

eg Class:
public function sayManyGreetings( ): Array
{
return [ "Hello", "Bonjour", "Guten tag", "G'Day" ];
}

Main:
private function initApp():void
{
var myTexter: Texter = new Texter;

output1.text = myTexter.sayManyGreetings[ 0 ];
output2.text = myTexter.sayManyGreetings[ 1 ];
}
