Thanks EKA and JC for your answers. I -kinda- knew that was the answer but I wanted to know if there was another way.
Casting/trantyping an abstract object down into one of a concrete type seems like to me very self-defeating to use abstractions as a data type. I might as well say var tmp:ConcreteClass = new ConcreteClass(); tmp.bar(); as JC has mentioned and forget about the low-coupling flexibility of using interfaces. I imagined the inital route I wanted to go ought to work at run-time but the compiler is not forgiving. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hans Wichman Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 5:52 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing non-interface methods from an object ofan interface type The compiler sees an object of type Interface which does not support the method you are trying to call. Either use: var tmp:ConcreteClass = new ConcreteClass(); or var tmp:Interface = new ConcreteClass(); ConcreteClass(tmp).bar(); grtz JC On 6/14/06, Mark Lapasa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > /////////////////////////// > // Inside "Interface.as" // > /////////////////////////// > interface Interface > { > public function foo():Void; > } > > > > /////////////////////////////// > // Inside "ConcreteClass.as" // > /////////////////////////////// > import Interface; > > class ConcreteClass implements Interface > { > public function foo():Void { trace("Foo was fired");}; // As > required by > the interface > public function bar():Void { trace("Bar was fired");}; > } > > > > /////////////////////////// > // Inside the "Test.FLA" // > /////////////////////////// > import ConcreteClass; > import Interface; > var tmp:Interface = new ConcreteClass(); > > tmp.foo(); // Works > tmp.bar(); // Doesn't Work, why? > > > > > I don't think all the public ConcreteClass methods have to be listed in an > interface. > Has anyone else come across this problem?
