Ah, this seems to be the fault of not doing something like this instead: ball.timeToExplosion = length;
Essentially, what you are doing is lacking the proper address to the variable you want to change.
In order to make this work you have to make a few changes:
1) capitalize the "b" in your current "ball" class ("public class Ball")
Note: I say this because it is convention to capitalize Classes and Functions for every word and use camelCase for any variables.
2) add this line in Start() or at the top: "public var ball : Ball = Ball();"
3) finalize by doing "ball.timeToExplosion = length;" to get the proper effect.
again the periods are like an address.
For an even more complex example look at this one:
gameObject.thisScript.ball.timeToExplosion ==
Start at "gameObject"-->open component "thisScript"-->move to "ball" class-->access "timeToExplosion" variable in ball class
