That's correct, I also tried using Vector.<*>, but that was also a no go. If you look at VectorList [1], it accepts a parameter source:Object as that was the only way I could accept a Vector of any type. I should really add some reflection code here to at least make sure the object being injected in the constructor is actually a Vector. Besides that there really isn't any need to strong type it to Vector.<*> or Vector.<Object> since the rest of the code is not reliant on any method calls specific to the class. > > Also, what does getItemAt return?
