2 classes, one method

I am currently attempting to move from timeline as3 to classes.

I have a class that is used to create some shapes, and another that is used to create some text.

I want a function that will check to see if the text has passed a shape on the layout - if so, the shape needs to move down. (the text is input by the user)

on the timeline everything worked fine - this is from the text class


public function uploadText(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    bodyText.text = "";
    bodyText.appendText(yourText.text);
    btHeight = bodyText.height;
    
    if (btHeight > 700){
        oBT = true;
        checkOBT();
    };
};

The function below should move the shape - where should it reside? (if I put it in the text class, it doesn’t know about the “TemplateHolder.foo” and if I put it in the shape class, it doesn’t have the oBT Boolean or the btHeight var.

public function checkOBT():void{
        if (oBT == true) {
            TemplateHolder.foo.y = btHeight + 210;
        };
    };

Thanks in advance - I’m close but feel so very confused about classes!
