var values:Array = new Array(5);
values[0] = Math.floor(number / 86400 / 7);// weeks
values[1] = Math.floor(number / 86400 % 7);// days
values[2] = Math.floor(number / 3600 % 24);// hours
values[3] = Math.floor(number / 60 % 60);// mins
values[4] = Math.floor(number % 60);// secs

var stopage:Boolean = false;
var cutIndex:Number = -1;

for (var i:Number = 0; i < values.length; i++)

AS3 referencing Main/Document class as Singleton||Monostate

Actionscript
Dec 202011

public class Main extends Sprite {

private static var _instance:Main;
public static function get instance():Main { return _instance; }

public function Main() {
_instance = this;
// etc...
}

// etc...
}

Then you access the Main instance like this:

public class Other {
public function Other() {
Main.instance.usefulInstanceMethod();
}
}
