[RESOLVED] flash.media.Video

[rrutter81]

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.media::Video@2eff9f31 to mx.core.IUIComponent.

i have no idea why i cant addchild(video) without it throwing this error. Anyone else know what this could be?

ok this is a flex problem. Evidently I couldnt add my Video unless it was a UIComponent strictly. Even if the object was an extension of UI Component I would get the error.

var Holder:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
Holder.addChild(Vid); //Vid being a flash.media.Video
addChild(Holder);

very odd

"If you test ActionScript code that use the addChild() ActionScript method with Flash Player display objects (like a text field) within an MXML application, you will need to attach the code to a Flex UIComponent instead of adding the Flash Player display object."

Yes, odd.
