This I just don't get. I have a flash site where a particular .swf is
present the entire time so I'm loading up it's library with the movieclips
and bitmaps I'll need throughout the site. It's document class has a few
simple public methods that return an instance of the symbol like this.
//in libraryswf
public function createMyBitmap():BitmapData{
return new MyBitmap(0,0); //MyBitmap is the export/linking class name for
a bitmap in the .fla's library.
}
I then created a singleton class to use as sort of an api so any class could
create an instance of MyBitmap with MyAPI.instance.createMyBitmap() which
looks like this
public function createMyBitmap():MyBitmap{
return libraryswf.createMyBitmap();
}
This all worked fine for the first two symbols I created which were bitmaps.
I extended BitmapData in order to add some custom properties.
But when I went to add a movieclip to the flow, my api function started
throwing this runtime error
Error # 1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
com.domain.mypackage::mymoviec...@27133a67 to
com.domain.mypackage.MyMovieClip.
I tried typing it as a MovieClip at each part of the process which worked
but of course I lose my custom props and methods.
Any idea on how to deal with this properly? Thanks.
