Hi, I don't know what changed (might be the upgrade to the new Ptolemy II 5.0 beta version or recent changes in the Kepler CVS or both), but I tried again today and dragging and dropping of composite actor classes seems to work now without errors :-) Very cool!!! Thanks a lot!!! And sorry for my pushing ;-)
