Answer 1

instead of assign you can use set and get method of Varient it is great features of OOP used by magento

use like this

$this->loadLayout()->getLayout()->getBlock('blockname')
     ->setActive('company');

and you can get this in phtml file

<?php echo $this->getActive();?> // will print company.

its the best you to assign value and get in to phtml files or any call.

hope this will sure help you.
