Declaring variable in different class not working as3

Question

I have a public var called monster number in my monster class.

public var monsterNumber:int;

And in my document class, I want to give monsterNumber a number, lets say 5.

It's still tracing monsterNumber as 0 in my monster class, but 5 in my document class. Is there any way to change this var in my document class?

Do you have an instance of your monster class in your document class ? — prototypical

Yes. this line of code public var grunt:Monster = new Monster(); is in my document class. And the monsterNumber is a public var in the Monster class. — Jr. Mathews

Here's an example of how you can create a instance of Monster and modify it's property monsterNumber :

// in your document class

var monster:Monster = new Monster();
monster.monsterNumber = 1;

You can define your variable as a static variable so you can change its value from anywhere you want.
