Trying to access a var that's inside a class....? help

1

Hi all! Well I’ve been working on this for a couple of days now and just can’t seem to get it to work right… I’m still getting my feet wet with as3 and like it more and more everytime I use it… almost.

Anyways, here’s where I’m running into trouble.

Here’s a dumbed down version of my project with all the other usless drivel excluded. Basically what I’m trying to do is declare a var and give it a value in my class. Then I want to be able to display that value on the stage and use it in the main timeline. Seems simple enough…

I need to be able to pass the var from the class to the main timeline for use… Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

//Actionscript code on first frame of main timeline

//Imports my class... works fine.
import folder.testing.TestClass;

var testClass:TestClass = new TestClass();





//Class Code
package folder.testing {
	public class TestClass {
		
		public var someNumber:Number;
		
		public function TestClass() {
			trace("test class working");
			someNumber = "1234";
			trace(someNumber);
		}
	}
}

in your timeline or document class


var test:TestClass = new TestClass()
trace(test.someNumber)

That did it! Thanks!!

so can you access that variable in any class from there on out if that new “test” was created on the main timeline?

I was trying to create a new class that acted like a global variable, but when I go into my classes all over the place and try to acess it, I could not find it? should that work though? if created on the main timeline, a variable is accessed like a global in AS2.0 was?
