Hey gang.

I have 3 .as files at the moment as follows:

Launchers.as

```auto
package 
{
	public class Launchers
	{

		public static var maxAngle:uint = 45;

	}
}

```

RocketGrenade.as

```auto
package 
{
	public class RocketGrenade extends Launchers
	{

		static var radius:Number = 6;
		static var velocity:Number = 8;
		static var damage:Number = 15;
		static var bounce:Boolean = false;

	}
}

```

BounceGrenade.as

```auto
package 
{
	public class BounceGrenade extends Launchers
	{

		static var radius:Number = 6;
		static var velocity:Number = 8;
		static var damage:Number = 15;
		static var bounce:Boolean = true;

	}
}

```

Now what I’m trying to achieve is BounceGrenade and RocketGrenade classes to inherit the “maxAngle” property from their superclass “Launchers” so I could use code like:

```auto
trace(BounceGrenade.maxAngle)

```

for example.

Probably something simple I’m overlooking, could someone help explain why this wont work?
