hi guys, i just like u to know i’m simply looking for the best appropriate approach to go about this.

i’ve got two classes and i’m not extending to MovieClip. I like to attach the mc in the constructor just because i’ll be working with different MC’s that have the same purpose.

however, im using private var loadedMC:Movieclip and now i’ve got another class that needs to be able to access the instance’s variable.

for example, myClass.loadedMC , but this would mean having to make it public and I rather not go that route.

Any ideas?
