Storing Static String into new String variable

Question

I have some ship names defined in my Controller.js script that I'd like to access from other scripts. So in my Controller script I have, for example

 static var ship1 : String="Bounty";

In my other script I can use

 print ("Ship is "+Controller.ship1);

or print it to my GUI window and it will print "Ship is Bounty" as required. But how can I store this String into another String variable, like so...

 var newShip : String;

so I can use i.e

 newShip=Controller.ship1;
 print ("Ship is "+newShip);

resulting in "Ship is Bounty". As it is it remains blank .e "Ship is .." Appreciate any help on Strings, it's an area I've neglected and now I really need them.

Only one answer and that was spam :(

Anyone have advice on this ? Is it possible to store the Static string into a newer variable, or is there a more refined way to go about this ?

Just create a new string var and do something along the lines of...

 var myString : string;
 
 function Awake() {
 myString = CLASSNAMEOFSHIP.ship1;
 }

With class name being the name of the class that contains the static string. Though you probably guessed that. :P
