Reading variable from other script

I'm new with Unity and I've a problem with reading the variable: 'Selected' from another script . I've read some documentation and that's not working. Can someone help me? Thanks

125*TargetingScript.js*

 private var Selected = false;
 
 function Update ()
 {
     if(Input.GetKey("r"))
     {
         Selected= false;
     }
 }
 
 function OnMouseUp()
 {
     if(Selected == false)
     {
         Selected= true;
     }
 }
 
 
 ----------
 **TargetingLight.js**
 
 > var newSelected = false;
 
 function Update () 
 {
     var TargetingScript : Object;
     TargetingScript = GetComponent("TargetingScript");
     
     if(TargetingScript.Selected == true)
     {
         newSelected = true;
     }
 }

I'm sorry, I can't place the script's in a quote for some reason.
