Hey,

I’m quite new to OOP and have come to a problem.

Lets say I have a ‘hands’ class that I use so:

_var h:hands = new hands(0);_ //this gives me the first hand  
_var h2:hands = new hands(1);_ // this gives me the second hand

now. The problem comes when I want to be able to kind of get to a class within a class like so:

_var h:hands = new hands(0).fingers(0);_

If possible I’d also like the fingers class to be on a different .as file than the hands file. How do I do this?
