Subject: Container wont contain! (noob question)

Here I want to change Class1's var2 to equal 2. Now, I can do this by..
"object.m_container.container1 = Class1.new(2)", but I want to do it
with "object.change_me = 2"
Point is I want to change that variable by simply using a number, as
apposed to xxx.new(arg).
Why wont object.change_me =2 work?

(sorry if this seems confusing or silly)

The following is a highly simplified representation of my current
problem....

#******************************************************************

class Class1

    def initialize(aVar)
        @var = aVar
        @var2 = nil
        if @var == 1 then @var2 = 1 elsif @var == 2 then @var2 = 2 end
    end
end

class Class2
      attr_accessor :container1

      def initialize(container1)
        @container1 = container1
           end
end

class M_class
  attr_accessor(:m_container,:change_me)

  def initialize
    @m_container = Class2.new(Class1.new(change_me) )
  end

        def change_me
               @change_me = 1
        end
end


object = M_class.new

#object.m_container.container1 = Class1.new(2)  <--- currently doing it
like this

#object.change_me = 2   <----- want to do it like this (or something as
easy)

p object
