on a related note. If I have a sprite in my Library (exported with a class name), and in that sprite some movieclips, in order to call the sprite into my document class, in order to access things within that sprite, I have to do this:
private var bSprite; ... bSprite = new IDESprite(); bSprite.some_mc... and NOT private var bSprite:Sprite because then when I try to access "some_mc" I get an error. So in this case is it best to simply not type bSprite, or type it with a wildcard? - E On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 11:32 AM, Merrill, Jason < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>(even if you are > >>only doing a wildcard cast). > > What I meant was, not "even if", but that casting to a wildcard will > alieviate the compiler complaints since you're casting to SOMETHING, > even if it is a wildcard. > > Jason Merrill > Bank of America > Global Technology & Operations & Global Risk L&LD > eTools & Multimedia > > Join the Bank of America Flash Platform Developer Community > > Are you a Bank of America associate interested in innovative learning > ideas and technologies? > Check out our internal GT&O Innovative Learning Blog & subscribe. > > > > >>-----Original Message----- > >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > >>Of Merrill, Jason > >>Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 10:58 AM > >>To: Flash Coders List > >>Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable > >>definition. > >> > >>>>That's what I suspected.
