Re: central up to date data

You're probably running into this because you're attempting to use  
instance variables like static variables.

If you're just storing one variable, you can use a single static  
variable in your ancestor class.

If you wanted to access this variable akin to a local property of  
specific extended child class instances, you could wrap it in an  
accessor. I'm thinking of something like the following.

// --------------------------------
// In Utils.as:
private static var _colorValues:Array;

public function get colorValues():Array {
	return Utils._colorValues;
}

public function set colorValues(newVal:Array):void {
	Utils._colorValues = newVal;
}

// --------------------------------
// In Application.as, which extends Utils.as:

// Inside some function, let's get _colorValues:
trace(this.colorValues);
// --------------------------------

This is totally untested, just off the top of my head.
