Hi there,

I’m an AS3 newbie and trying to have a class reference a variable within the document class and have scoured the web but can’t seem to find a solution. It seems relatively simple, but is a major stumbling block for me. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I want the variable in the doc class to increment each time a draggable object is within bounds and snapped to a box in the subclass. By tracking successful snaps, the objects will be placed one under the other each time. I’ve attached the files in hopes you may have a chance to look at them 🙂

TIA, brian
