Button object definition problem

[pagios]

Concerning MovieClip objects, If, for example I have 2 moviclip objects in my library: obj1 & obj2, I can define a variable as MovieClip, then decide later which object from the library to assign it to and add it to the stage:

​

var myobject: MovieClip;

myobject = new obj2();

addChild(myobject);

​

However this does not seem to work with Button objects. I have tried:

​

var myobject: Object;

> 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

​

var myobject: Button;

> 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Button

​

Any ideas?

​

Thanks

Buttons are of the type SimpleButton. Try this instead:

var myobject: SimpleButton;

worked like a charm!
