I have a custom sound object base class, and every sound object in the library extends this.Here is a basic stripped down version of my sound object.

```auto

package {
    import flash.media.*;
 
 public class SoundObject extends Sound {
        public function SoundObject() {
        }
  public function Play(startTime:Number = 0, loops:int = 0, sndTransform:SoundTransform = null):SoundChannel {
   var sndc:SoundChannel;
   return sndc;
  }
    }
}

```

Now once I have made a new sound object and attempt to call the custom method I have defined like

```auto

sound.Play();

```

The output window prints out this strange error message.  
What makes it even weirder is the fact that if I put a trace inside of the Play method the code works fine and nothing it printed in the output window.

If anybody could make some sense of this for me it would be most appreciated, because I’m sort of lost:puzzled:
