Hi,
i experienced the same behaviour using this type of cast
var somVar = Caster( Castee );
sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt ...
I tried to use the 'as' operator and that suddenly works where above
coed failed.
var someVar = list.getItemAt( i ) as TypeToCast;
I hope maybe that works for you too. I havent figured the casting
rules quite yet. So if anybody can explain it
its really appreciated :)
Best of luck

Hello,
I've created a custom class:
LiquidObject extends Sprite
I then create several instances of LiquidObject and add them as
children to a parent Sprite.
If I cycle through and trace the children as such:
for (var i:int=0;i<parent.numChildren;i++) {
trace(parent.getChildAt(i));
}
Each trace shows the correct type of object:
[object LiquidObject]
When I tried to access a property specific to LiquidObject
(LiquidObject.selected) it does not recognize this to be a property
because it thinks it's dealing with a general Sprite. So, I attempt
to coerce to type LiquidObject as such:
for (var i:int=0;i<parent.numChildren;i++) {
trace(LiquidObject(parent.getChildAt(i)).selected);
}
Unfortunately, I receive an error stating that I can't coerce type
Sprite to LiquidObject. I would think that this would be allowed
since (a) LiquidObject extends Sprite and (b) parent.getChildAt(i) is
already presenting a type LiquidObject in the trace.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Paul
