Moving array between classes

Question

Hello there. Right, i have 3 classes with which i am having a bit of trouble with. The first class, "Drawing," creates an array called componentList. Then, in another class called "DrawingCanvas" i have an instance of "Drawing" created. In this second class i have two methods which need to use the array from the first class. These methods are called from a third class, "DrawingFrame."
My problem is that i do not know how to pass the array from "Drawing" into "DrawingCanvas" when i call a method from "DrawingFrame."
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

despite understanding your replys, i am still having trouble. i think it is because i am trying to put the array into an actionPerformed method. below is the method where i need to pass the array into:
   public JMenuItem createFileSaveItem() {
        JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("Save Current Drawing"); // Item name
        class MenuItemListener implements ActionListener {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) { // Event when item clicked
                      test.saveArray(componentList);              
        ActionListener listener = new MenuItemListener();
        item.addActionListener(listener);
        return item;
    }the "test.saveArray(componentList)" is showing as an error. (cannot find symbol componentList)
at the top of this class i have put:
DrawingCanvas test = new DrawingCanvas();
