hey thanks for the reply. Your right, I thought about it more and polymorphism is exactly what I need. However, I want a media object to be either a picture, a video, a sound file or a link. So that means links, pictures, videos and sound files have the attributes of a media object but are their own media. If that makes any sense? So for example id like to be able to do: MediaObject.find_by_video(example_media_object.content) or something like that. I dont really know how to explain this in rails, but I can do this easily in java haha.
