I created a JComboBox and JButton to submit information. I need the information to be sent to a different class to sort it out with a switch method. But it looks like the string created inside the ActionListener is not recognized by a different class. 

```
public Main() {
    final JComboBox comboB = new JComboBox(b);          //add int b in here for array
    comboB.setBounds(50, 30, 123, 20);
    contentPane.add(comboB);

    JButton btnTest = new JButton("Test");
    btnTest.setBounds(300, 350, 89, 23);
    contentPane.add(btnTest);

    btnTest.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            String s = (String)comboB.getSelectedItem();
        }
    });
 }

```

How do I make it so that String s can be recognized by other classes? I have a separate class that will change action depending on what is selected from ComboBox, but I just can't seem to get this information out. Thank you.
