I have two classes, call them class1 and class2. In my main(), I declare a new class object:

class2 stepping_action = new class2;

stepping_action has a variable called "contained" that is a boolean.

What I need to do is change the value of this variable from within class1. When I try, it tells me that stepping_action is not in the right scope. I have tried declaring stepping_action outside of the main but I still get the same error.

How can I change this variable from class1?

That will not compile. How about showing us what you are really working on?

How about showing us what you tried? Show class definitions and show the code that tries to do the deed.

In other words: Show Us the Code!

I fixed the problem.

No need of showing code is required....
do the following:--
Make class1 as a friend of class2 !!!
(or)
Make the function in which you want to change the value of "contained"
make that as friend!!!
