[Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert MC{com.lalala.me::ClassName@73af301 com.lalala.me::ClassName/constructor()}@10d1edc1 to Class.

I get this error when I try to add my loaded swf as a child.

error is in Line 103 in StageObserver
const type:Class = view['constructor'];

here it gets that error.

does it matter that my constructor method is overriden in my mail class of the SWF?
SWF root is Sprite, and not a MC

   Hi Matej,

   I have no idea what's causing the error just from looking at it.
   Somewhere in your code there must be an implicit or explicit type conversion going wrong.

   I don't think that overriding the constructor is a problem per se. What kind of a class is the base class?

   Are you by any chance loading third-party assets or embedding some images with an incorrect type?

   Taking a wild guess : in your code or in a third-party code, something that is added to the stage has been cast to the wrong data type.

   Loading an asset like this:

   Embed(source='images/someImage.png')] 
   private var ImageClass:Class;
   ...
   
   var myImage:Class = new ImageClass ();//<===bad
   
   addChild(myImage as DisplayObject);
   

   will result in similar error as yours.

   This would work:

   Embed(source=' images/someImage.png')] 
   private var ImageClass:Class;
   private var image:Bitmap = new ImageClass() as Bitmap;// or as DisplayObject
   
   addChild(image);
   

   Also, possibly not really related, but who knows, maybe it has to do with the ApplicationDomain..
   See this:

   Look for Same-definition Collisions

   That's all I can help you with, sorry.
