Accessing the stage?!?

So am I the only one who’s really pissed off by this “don’t have access to stage” -thing??? I am trying to create a flash website that contains several external classes that I’ve created. In those classes I can’t type stage.stageWidth for example. The only plase where I can access the stage is the document class. But this is totally not very useful. Now that I’ve created a preloader (a separate swf), the preloader is the only place where I can access the stage!!! This would be OK if I had a fixed sized flash site but I want it to be 100 % in width and height also when user resizes his browser window. There must be a way to fix this because I know people out there have created sites with AS3.0 that have been built using OOP structure and their stage is resizable. :stare:
