i am having a public class variable, isReady:Boolean, in my document class.  
how do i access this public variable from another class, which is a base class of a movieclip?

i don’t think i should create another new instance of my document class in the base class because this will create a new instance. i need to do a reference to the isReady variable in the document class. but i do not know how i should access it and how does the scope of the variables like.

thanks. 🙂
