Error 5000 flash.display.MovieClip

Hello i have a problem with all of my actionscript files they all say they need to subclass flash.display.MovieClip but they already do subclass it.

 

P.S This file has rights to it please do not use it for your self. Only the mods at adobe are allowed to view it.

That suggests that the object is a Sprite and not a MovieClip. Try this:

private var dispCont:Sprite;

You may also need this line earlier on:

import flash.display.Sprite;

Should this:

private var dispCont;

be:

private var dispCont:MovieClip;

Otherwise when you say dispCont = mSystem.contMENU; you are assigning a MovieClip to a non-typed variable.
