Hi, when you declare them like this: var myObj1:MyInterface addChild (myObj1) wont work
if you do var myObj1:Sprite = ... addChild (myObj1) it probably will. The thing is that you essentially provide two different interfaces for your object. By extending Sprite you satisfy the DisplayObject requirement for addChild(). By implementing your interface you satisfy the requirement for your own class that the objects have to of a certain interface. Telling your own class, here is a display object isn't going to work, since it needs the interface, vice versa telling the display list here is my own interface isn't going to work either, you have to pass the objects in the form expected in both cases. hth, JC On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 10:00 AM, Tom Huynen <tomhuy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi! > > I have a tiny little problem with the following: > > I have two classes that should have the same dataType in order to use them > in a third class.
