assign outer class variable a value from inner class

[Ronnie Phelps]

how can I assign an outer class variable a value while I'm in the inner class...
this.name = "whatever"
doesn't work because this refers to the inner class.

If the variable is global, you don't have to do anything but assign the variable. The inner class knows about the outer class variables.
