Re: Variable retrieval from a Class Reply #4 - Oct 1st, 2009, 4:36am   BenHem was a bit fuzzy on the terminology... I would rewrite his answer as: You can refer to an instance of a class (a variable of the type of your class) like: instanceName.variableName Eg.: class Ball Instance: Ball oneBall = new Ball(); Usage: oneBall.speed (not Ball.speed - unless speed is static, but that's another story...)
