from the fdt template

depth : Number, init : Object) : Clock{
var mc : MovieClip = container.attachMovie("linkage", name, depth,
init);
return Clock(mc);

Is there a way to circumvent this? I really enjoy associating library

Re: [Flashcoders] Strong typing vs attachMovie
Hi Andreas,
var UIClock:Clock = Clock(content.attachMovie("clock","uiclock1",1));
using className(supertype) i.e. Clock(supertype)
It's called typecasting - or just casting. It looks like a constructor
function but isn't.
Basically you're telling the compiler "It's okay I know what I'm doing
- it really is a Clock!"
(This assumes you've associated Clock with the "clock" symbol via the
Linkage dialog.)
HTH,
Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] Strong typing vs attachMovie
Hello :)
You can use *typecasting* :
var UIClock:Clock = Clock(content.attachMovie("clock","uiclock1",1)) ;
EKA+ :)
