1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property

[Lesh]

1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property resetValue through a reference with static type Elements:GameIntro.

Within my document class I am trying to access a variable which is in my GameIntro.as but it is throwing up the error above. The variable I am trying to access is called resetValue which is in my gameintro.as file.
I have posted both my document and gameintro.as files below.


**THIS IS MY MAIN DOCUMENT CLASS LINKED TO MY ROBBERY.FLA FILE
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import SetUp;
import Elements.GameIntro;

public class Robbery extends MovieClip {

var _GameIntro:GameIntro=new GameIntro ;
var _SetUp:SetUp=new SetUp ;

public function Robbery() {

// add gameintro to the stage
_GameIntro.name="_GameIntroName";
addChild(_GameIntro);

// ERROR IS BEING THROWN UP HERE
if (_GameIntro.resetValue==1) {
trace("now to add setUp");
//addChild(_SetUp);
}

_SetUp.addInstructions();

}// closes the constructor method
}// closes public class
}// closes package

**THIS IS MY GAMEINTRO CLASS LINKED TO MY DOCUMENT CLASS
package Elements{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;

public class GameIntro extends MovieClip {

// Timer variables
var second=0;
var GameIntroTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000);
var thisParent=root;
var resetValue=0;

// constructor method
public function GameIntro() {
trace("GameIntro");

GameIntroTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, clock);
GameIntroTimer.start();
}// closes constructor method

public function clock(evt:TimerEvent):void {
// every time this function is checked increment second by one
second+=1;
// if the second is 5 remove the gameintro from the document class
if (second>=5) {
// stop timer
removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, clock);
GameIntroTimer.stop();
// play function to remove gameintro
removeGameIntro();
}// closes if statement
}// closes function clock

// **************************
public function removeGameIntro() {
trace("removeGameIntro");
this.parent.removeChild(this);
// THIS IS THE VARIABLE BELOW THAT I AM TRYIN TO ACCESS FROM THE ROBBERY DOCUMENT CLASS
resetValue=1;
trace(resetValue);
}// close the function removeGameIntro
}// closes public class
}// closes package

Wow, that is some seriously sloppy code!
Your problem is that you do not declare the resetValue variable as public.
The IDE sets the access modifier to internal if your variable don't have one. You can't access a property from outside of the class unless it is declared public.

I fail to see how this is sloppy code, but I must say that his code would look much better if he wrapped his code in [AS] tags
