References classes?

what's the correct way to reference a class, in this case from the same package. the code below shows class "Two" attempting to trace the value of a variable in class "One". no success. trace returns undefined.

//Class One
package
开发者_开发技巧{
import flash.display.Sprite;

public class One extends Sprite
     {
     public var myString:String = "My String";

     public function One()
           {
           new Two();
           }
     }
}


//Class TWO
package
{
public class Two
     {
     private var oneClass:Class = One; // <- is that right?

     public function Two()
           {
           trace(oneClass.myString);
           }
     }
}

There is an error in trace(oneClass.myString); because myString isn't static. But besides that, you can assign One to oneClass

A reference of type Class doesn't have any property of the class or the object, is not an instance is just a reference to the constructor of that class. i.e:

public class One {
    static public var classValue = "Hello";
    public var instanceValue = "World!";
}

public class Two {
    public function Two() {
        trace( One.classValue );                 // this traces: Hello
        trace( One.instanceValue );              // this throws an Error
        var classReference:Class = One;
        trace( classReference.classValue );      // this throws an Error
        trace( classReference.instanceValue );   // this throws an Error
        var objectReference:One = new classReference();
        trace( objectReference.classValue );     // this throws an Error
        trace( objectReference.instanceValue);   // this traces: World!
    }
}

The class properties (static ones) only can be acceded from the Class directly (like One.classValue) not from a Class reference and instance properties (NOT static ones) can only be acceded from objects of that class (like new One().instanceValue)

myString in class One is not static. So it doesn't belong to the class, but to the instances. That's why your code doesn't work. Try with :

static public var myString:String = "My String";
