Dot Syntax for navigating classes?

[Tye Solan]

Is there away to make

Root Workspace=new Root();
Animal Cow=new Animal();
//Parent Cow to workspace
Workspace.Cow.sound="Moo";
Workspace.Cow.color="White, black spots";

where Root and Cow are blank classes with a few properties.
So how do I parent Cow to Root? I think it has to do with super classes or something?

class Root
{

}

class Animal
{
String sound="";
String color="";
}

Yes, it has something to do with super classes or something. If you want Root to be a super class (parent) of Animal then you define Animal as:

class Animal extends Root

If you want Animal to be a parent of Root then you define Root as:

class Root extends Animal
