This can also happen when you link against a certain class, but the version of that class supplied at runtime has changed. E.g.,
1. you build module foo.swf against application bar.swf with load-externs 2. your module uses class Baz from bar.swf 3. you rebuild bar.swf, changing Baz slightly 4. without rebuilding foo.swf, you run bar.swf (which loads foo.swf) When foo.swf attempts to use Baz, you'll get that error, because Baz does not look like what bar.swf thinks it looks like. (Disclaimer: I'm not sure if this exact sequence replicates this issue-- I'm extrapolating from my Java experience here--but I've run into this in Flex previously under similar circumstances) -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: nwebb <neilw...@gmail.com> Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [flexcoders] very odd error Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:55:50 +0000 Erm....

There are no two objects of the same name . Anyone else seen Flex do something like this before?
