Can you access enums in one class from another?  I have a models folder with some enum values setup in a class file.  I want to access those enums from within another class.  When I instantiate the class object (myClass type Stats value new Stats()), i was hoping to have access to the enum values, but intellisense does not seem to recognize them.

Thanks.

    Hi, a couple of questions. Are you compiling to .NET or to JVM? What exactly do you mean when you say you have enum values in a class file? Do you have an enum definition nested within a class file, something like:
    class-id a.
    ...
    enum-id MyEnum
    ...
    end enum.
    end class.
    ...?
    if so, when accessing the enum from outside of a, you will need to reference it as a nested type i.e. type a MyEnum in this case.

    that is exactly what i needed for it to work, the sign. Thanks.
