    Smile Running methods of a class that created you...

    Hello, I'm new here!

    I was wondering, is it possible for an object to run a method of the object that created it?

    As in, if 'ObjectA' creates an object 'ObjectB' (of a different class), can ObjectB run methods of ObjectA? Is it simple to do?

    Many Thanks,

    Joe

    Yes, but you must pass ObjectA to ObjectB as a parameter.
