Hi,

I am quite new at OOP in AS2, so please excuse me if the answer to my question seems obvious.

I have a site class with different properties. The site class creates a Background class. I want the background class to use the Site class’ stylesheet object. How can this be done?

At first I thought about passing the site object to the Background class’ constructor, but maybe there is a way to reference to the calling class?

I am really looking for best practice advice here 🙂

Kind regards,
