That did work, thanks very much.
But I have a slightly different case that I can't seem to fit to your
solution.
I actually want to call this from MicrophoneClass.as, from within an
event handler:
public function activityHandler(event:ActivityEvent):void
{
...
}
If I use the approach you suggested:
var main:Main = new Main();
main.createSprite(this);
Then I get this error:
Implicit coercion of a value of type MicrophoneClass to an unrelated
type mx.core:UIComponent
And I understand the error, but I can't seem to fix it. I'm still
having trouble understanding displaylist and how to add children to
them.
Thanks for any help,
Jon
