Coming from a Flex/Flash background I will have to say that there is
BIG differences between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0. AS 3.0 is a powerful
OOP language and AS 2.0 is not. That being said, the same object
oriented principles do apply in ActionScript 3.0 the same as Obj-C and
the Cocoa
Hi again!
I'm still plucking along and any help is still greatly appreciated!
Here is the deal: I create a subobject called mySubObject inside my
main object myMainObject. Now I want to access myMainObject from
within mySubObject.
I'm still not sure what the ideal way to do this would be but I

Why? What difference does self make here?
Because the latter accesses the property of
I'm new to objective-C and cocoa also, I I don't know the answer to your
specific question about self. However, seems that one way to do it would
be to have the init of mySubObject have an initializer with argument, and
you would then create it something like this:
SubObject * mySubObject =
