Inheriting Classes

Hello,

I made a document class for a project that is similar to this:

package{

public class test1{

// stage assets : these are all objects that were put on the stage in CS4
public var object1:MovieClip;
public var object2:MovieClip;

public function test1():void{
object1.alpha = 0;
object2.alpha = 0;
}
}

}

Now what I want to do is extend test1 into test2. I used code similar to this:

package{
public class test2 extends test1{
public function test2():void{
super();
}
}
}

but this error is being returned:
test2.as:6: 1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition test1.StratusPanel_mc in namespace public.

It seems the inherited class does not want to access the objects on the stage. Is this correct?

take care,
lee
