Here is the main class which imports the QueeryParserClass

[Q]package
{
import classes.QueeryParser;
import flash.events.Event;

public class GenSubmit
{


public function GenSubmit(event:Event)
{
var qp:QueeryParser = new QueeryParser(event)
trace(qp.getfiltervalue());
}

}
}[/Q]

The event being passed in is from a combo box. I do a
[Q]_filtervalue = event.currentTarget.selectedLabel;[/Q] within the
constructor of the QueeryParser class.
then I have a public function (getfiltervalue) also inside the QueeryParser
class that returns the value.

I can trace it out as shown above. but say I wanted to assign that value to a
textbox, I can't do it.
None of the properties inside the class, even if I declare them public and
Bindable are visible outside the class.

Can someone explain this?
thanks.
