Accessing an enum from another script?

Unity Engine
1

I’m trying to access an enum from another script but I keep getting the “Unknown Identifier” error.

Here’s how part of the script(CharacterControl) containing the enum looks like :

enum CharacterAnim {
Idle = 0, 
Running = 1, 
RunningBack = 2, 
Sprinting = 3
}

var characterState : CharacterAnim;

function Update(){
if(Input.GetAxis("Vertical")==0  Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")==0){
characterState = CharacterAnim.Idle;
}

Here’s how part of the script that accesses the enum looks like :

function Awake () {
controllerScript = this.transform.GetComponent(CharacterControl);
}

if(controllerScript.characterState == CharacterAnim.Idle){
animation.CrossFade("soldierIdle");
}

I get the error : BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘CharacterAnim’.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

I would guess that the second script is somewhere that can’t “see” the CharacterControl script, such as Standard Assets, since it’s compiled earlier.
