In todays flash player yes but with advent of AS3 the compiler will require it to maximize engine efficiency. I suppose you could argue that the compiler could make those judgment calls on the fly but in many cases it can't and won't which bloats the end result (memory allocation/hash tables). No?

Shouldn't we consider the claim that strict-typing cuts down developement time as one of those completely unfounded urban legends? ;-) > mx.controls.treeclasses.TreeDataProvider Sounds great, but I still don't get it to work - no compiler error, but also no node added: import mx.controls.treeclasses.TreeDataProvider class Test{ function Test(){ var myTreeDP:TreeDataProvider = TreeDataProvider(new XML()); myTreeDP.addTreeNode("node", 0); trace('cast to TreeDataProvider '+myTreeDP); // avoid Compiler error when publishing for Player 7 var myTreeDP = new XML(); myTreeDP.addTreeNode("node", 0); trace('untyped '+myTreeDP); } } Output: cast to TreeDataProvider null untyped <node data="0" label="node" /> Cheers! -------------- Andreas Weber motiondraw.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Johannes Nel Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 3:21 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] TreeDataProvider - "There is no method with thename'addTreeNode'" mx.controls.treeclasses.TreeDataProvider you need to get a good editor :) On 1/11/06, Derek Lords <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "missing intrinsic class issue" good guess.
