title: AS3 Starling: Trying to add Video
body: <p>I'm a total AS3 / Starling newbie, but I'm trying to (programmatically) add an FLV video file to the 'background' of what is essentially a splash screen.</p>
  
  <p>Example code I have found online basically distills to...
      var v:Video = new Video(100, 100);
      this.addChild(v);</p>
  
  <p>This works in the top-level class that extends flash.display.Sprite, however my Game class (that extends starling.display.Spite) fails, complaining of an "Implicit coercion of a value of type Video to an unrelated type DisplayObject."</p>
  
  <p>Strangely enough, the signature of the addChild function on the Starling Sprite class is the same as that of the Flash Sprite class.</p>
  
  <p>So basically the question is: why do I seem to be unable to add a Video object as a child to a Starling Sprite class (but successfully to a Flash Sprite class)?</p>
  
  <p>I'm sure the answer is ridiculously simple... please let me know if I need to add more code or anything. Or if what I'm doing is totally the wrong way.</p>
