Instance names as3

Hi guys :slight_smile:

Ive watched a few as3 tutorials but they didnt talk about giving movieclips instance names when not on the timeline or frame.
like:say if had an as3 class called “player”
then how do i access it through other classes, like if i had a turret class
i have a main class to.

how do i access a the player class as an instance name or give the movieclip assigned
to the class an instance name once displayed on stage.
