ps if you still need to do what you are trying, compiling twice or thrice
might help:)

Hi,
this
class Clarss {
var pRoot:Clarss2
function Clarss() {

class Clarss2 extends Clarss {
function Clarss2() {
}
}
looks like a design error to me. One of the reasons you would use
inheritance is polymorphism, and reducing complexity. A super class having
to know the type of its subclasses is not good practice. Why not keep the
reference pRoot:Clarss? You can stick any subclass in there.
(ps you might want to read about the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*Liskov*_*
substitution*_*principle )*
