Hi,
If your downcast does not work - the "as" bit - your variable will
be null -it does not throw exceptions.

How about up-casting:
var mc:MovieClip = loadedDisplayObject as MovieClip;
if(mc) {
mc.play();
} else {
//could be a bitmap, but if it's not guaranteed, then you might need to
do more tests.
var bmp:Bitmap = loadedDisplayObject as Bitmap;
}
Ahhh, very interesting! That's a great idea! Thanks for tip.
I wonder if I will have to use try/catch to avoid any typecasting errors?
Testing now...
Works perfectly!
var mc:MovieClip = o[i] as MovieClip;
if (mc) { trace("movieclip"); } else { trace("other"); }
Pretty cool! Thaks for tip. :)
Have a great day! Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Micky
