Thanks - got the first error fixed, but the second one remains. If I
cast testSprite as DisplayObject, I still see this error:
Main Thread (Suspended: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed:
cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.)
mx.core::Container/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::addingChi
ld
mx.core::Container/addChildAt
mx.core::Container/addChild
..etc.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex
framework
The first error says you need the TestSprite class to be defined
like:
public class TestSprite extends Sprite
The second error I initially thought was because the application
addChild takes a UICompoent, but according to the help docs what
you
have 'should' work. I would try casting it as a DisplayObject
although
this probably isn't the correct way to fix it.
mxmlApp.addChild(testSprite as DisplayObject);
