Re: central up to date data

Hi Tom,

It's a bit hard to tell without seeing the code. If your app class and 
your menu class, etc. are each creating their own extension of utils, 
then how are those subclasses communicating? Are they calling some 
update function in the super class?
It sounds like you need to use a singleton, and give it an update() 
method that any class can access. That way you know all your classes are 
updating the same instance.
Here are great examples of singletons:

Hope that helps,
Bob
