[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Hi,[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I’m unsuccessfully trying to target Timer object created on MainTimeline from a class.[/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]MainTimeline code:[/FONT][/SIZE]

```auto
 
var testTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
testTimer.start();
 
var myTimer:TimerTest = new TimerTest();
addChild(myTimer);

```

[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]TimerTest code:[/FONT][/SIZE]

```auto
 
package
{
                import flash.display.MovieClip;
                import flash.events.Event;
                public class TimerTest extends MovieClip
                {
                               public function TimerTest():void
                               {
                                               this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, targetMainTimeLineTimer);
}
 
                               private function targetMainTimeLineTimer(e:Event):void
                               {
                                               //trace(this.parent.testTimer); how to target objects created on mainTimeline which are not in DisplayList ?
                               }
                }               
}

```
