Getting Variable value from another object?

Anyone know how to fix this issue? (Java)
Here’s the part I’m stuck at. I’m trying to find a variable name from a different object (Object is the player, script on it is called “PlayerAnimationController”) I’m looking for the variable called “Facing” in said script. Then check if the Facing Variable is 0 (Left) or 1 (Right). But I’m having trouble accessing it. My error is:

Assets/_SamuraiScroller/Scripts/EnergyBar.js(83,70): BCE0020: An instance of type ‘PlayerAnimationController’ is required to access non static member ‘Facing’.

Code snipet of the problematic area:

if (Active == 2){

var Facingscript : PlayerAnimationController;
Facingscript = GetComponent("PlayerAnimationController");

audio.clip = ReleaseSound;
audio.Play();
var Spawnpoint = GameObject.Find("Special_Attack_Spawn");
var ChargeAttack = Instantiate(SpecialAttack, Spawnpoint.transform.position, transform.rotation);

if(PlayerAnimationController.Facing == 0)
{
ChargeAttack.rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.Left * AttackSpeed);
}
if(PlayerAnimationController.Facing == 1)
{
ChargeAttack.rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.Right * AttackSpeed);
} 
Active = 1;
yield WaitForSeconds (audio.clip.length);
Active = 0;
}
}
2

Ok, here’s the deal:

Facingscript = GetComponent("PlayerAnimationController");

first off, this will return type of “Object” rather than “PlayerAnimationController” like you want

Facingscript = GetComponent(PlayerAnimationController);

this would work if you were looking for a component on the SAME object

    var player : GameObject = GameObject.Find("NameOfPlayerObject");    
   var Facingscript : PlayerAnimationController = player.GetComponent(PlayerAnimationController);

this is more like what you need
