Answer 1

The cleaner way is to simply pass a reference to Main to the constructor of the class you want to be able to access it.

For example, your AnotherClass could look like this:

class AnotherClass
{
    private var _main:Main;

    public function AnotherClass(main:Main)
    {
        _main = main;
        _main.test(); // Success!
    }
}

And your main class:

class Main
{
    public function Main()
    {
        var another:AnotherClass = new AnotherClass(this);
    }

    public function test():void
    {
        trace("Success!");
    }
}
