Subject: Start and stop a ruby loop ;(

Hi all,

I have the following loop

class myFirstClass
   is_loop = 0

   def start_my_loop
     for is_loop < 1
       puts 'Im inside the loop..............'
     end
   end

end

i can start above class's loop by using following...

require 'myFirstClass'
class mySecondClass
   oFirst = myFirstClass.new
   oFirst.start_my_loop
end

and i need a way to stop the above loop from calling another method.
Like...
calling a nother method to make the 'is_loop' to 1

but the problem is when i use the
myFirstClass.new --> is_loop to 0

so can anyone tell me a way to do this. I want to start the loop from
one method and stop it from another. (Or what is the way to do this)

I'm sorry if i'm doing something wrong coz i'm nwe to ruby

thankx in advance

cheers
sameera
