Sorry if this quesiton has been posted, but I don’t think I am using the right terms to search. I am trying to learn how classes can interact with each other and I came across a problem I can’t solve.

On my stage I have a MovieClip called “myMovieClip”.

Toplevel.as:

```auto

package edu.mydomain{
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class TopLevel extends Sprite {           
        public function TopLevel() {
              var temp:SecondClass = new SecondClass;
        }
    }
}

```

SecondClass.as:

```auto

package edu.mydomain{
 import flash.display.*;
 class SecondClass extends MovieClip{
  public function SecondClass(){
   root.myMovieClip.x = 0;
  }
 }
}

```

How do I access the [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]properties [/FONT][/COLOR]of myMovieClip. root.\* gives me an error.

Another question; If one class creates the object dynamically in actionscript, can I have a different class edit the [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]properties [/FONT][/COLOR]of that class?

Thanks in advance.
