I do not think that this passes any data but it does let you grab an
instance (usually of a singleton) so that you can use setters and
getters to pass the data.
If the object is not a Singleton, I am not sure which instance you get
so it is only part of the solution.
Look at the book Head

getInstance() is usually used for accessing Singleton classes. These
are classes of which only a single instance can exist. This way any
class can call getInstance (a static method) to get the class, and
that class can store shared data.

There is no such method in Flash's built-in classes, so propably it

Replace 0x6092B8 with whatever color you want. You can even use string
