Change text from other class with AS3?

I have some action script in the first layer and it imports a CustomSocket class from an external .as file. When I receive a command on the socket I want to edit the GUI objects. For example, when I get the command TIME 23 from the server I want to change the dynamic text box timerBox to the value 23. I have a method called processCommand(cmd:String) in the CustomSocket class, but I don't know how to change the text. Usually you can just do timerBox.text = "23"; but this doesn't work in an external class?

If 'CustomSocket' is not your document class, then you need to specify some reference for your timeline in your class.

For general example,

While importing a class,

import CustomSocket;

csObj:CustomSocket = new CustomSocket(this);

then, inside class, in constructor

public function LibraryS(_ref:Object):void
{
  timelineRef = _ref;
}

then in your class you can say,

timelineRef.timeBox.text = "23";
