cannot access public variable

[OMG]

I think I've made some fundamental error here...
I have a public variable a in class A, and I want to access it in class B, but I cant (access of possibly undefined property...)
what's wrong here?
now every time I want to refer to a variable in class A I need to pass the variable reference to class B's constructor

Whenever possible, post code along with your question.
A public variable in class A should be accessable from class B so something is wrong with your code. What? We'll never know till you post it

sry here's the simplified code:

package {
 public class Menu extends MovieClip {
  //...
  public var itemNum:int;
  //...
  public function Menu() {
   itemNum=10;
  }
 }
}

second class:

package {
 public class MenuItem extends MovieClip {
  public function MenuItem() {
   trace(Menu.itemNum);//error
  }
 }
}

You can solve this in two ways.

A, create a new instance of Menu:

var menu1:Menu = new Menu();
trace(menu1.itemNum);

B, make the property "itemNum" static, meaning only one instance of it is ever created, and all accessed properties will point to this one value:

package {
 public class Menu extends MovieClip {
  //...
  public static var itemNum:int = 10;
  //...
  public function Menu() {
   //Do whatever here
  }
 }
}

//Now, access that property from anywhere like before
trace(Menu.itemNum);

oh god that's right...I totally forgot itemNum isn't a static variable >_<
sorry lol...guess my brain was stuck
