I’m trying some code I got from the web and I receive the above error from the following for the library item warning\_icon:

```auto
var mySkin:AdvAlertSkin = new AdvAlertSkin();
mySkin.addContent(warning_icon, new Point(5, 40));

```

Since warning\_icon wasn’t provided, I provided an appropriate 32x32 bitmap. AdvAlertSkin.addContent is below:

```auto
public function addContent(object:Class, position:Point):void  
{
        dynamicContent.push({obj:object, pos:position});
 }

```

What do I need to do to make this work?
