ActionScript 3 - access variables in main application class from instantiated class

Question

I have a initApp.as which instantiates a class which needs to access the "currentState" property and the States array as well. However we cannot get this to work as we cannot see how we can access this information.

Within initApp.as currentState is accessed via "this.currentState". This does not work in the class which is instatiated within initApp.as. The following error is thrown:

"Access of undefined property currentState."

Anyone know how this can be solved?

try (parent as MovieClip).currentStage or (parent as Object).currentStage
