Cheers! I was getting frustrated because I was trying to import both DataProvider classes (not using any of the components that initialize Array with DataProvider) and wanted to type check with the 2nd DataProvider class. All sorted now, thanks again,

DataProvider is an API, not a class. An interface, per se.

You implement DataProvider, you don’t necessarely import it. Array == DataProvider.

Why is it I only ever find this stuff after struggling for an hour to work out the solution! :p Thanks for the info, I wonder why MM have also provided a DataProvider "type" class with the same name, I'm using DataProvider as per your example, but also wanted to use:

import mx.data.types.DataProvider;

...in the same app, but of course, no go. Any ideas would be great great great!
