   Hi there, essentially I'm trying to code individual firework explosions on the click of a mouse. It works fine sometimes, then other times it throws the above error message. Does anyone have a clue what's going on with this? why is it trying to convert a displayObjectRenderer to a BitmapRenderer?
   
   
   var eArray:Array = new Array();
   var tp:Array = new Array();
   var renderArray:Array = new Array();
   var rArrayCount:int=0;
   
   function FireWork():void
   {
   var emitter:Emitter2D = new Emitter2D();
   
   emitter.counter = new Blast( 40 );
   
   emitter.addInitializer( new SharedImage( new Dot( 3 ) ) );
   emitter.addInitializer( new ColorInit( 0xFFFD2D2D, 0xFFB10101 ) );
   emitter.addInitializer( new Velocity( new DiscZone( new Point( 0, 0 ), 160, 0 ) ) );
   emitter.addInitializer( new Lifetime( 2 ) );
   
   emitter.addAction( new Age( Quadratic.easeIn ) );
   emitter.addAction( new Fade( 1.0, 0 ) );
   emitter.addAction( new Move() );
   
   
   emitter.addAction( new Accelerate( 0, 150 ) );
   
   var temp:MovieClip=new MovieClip;
   temp.mouseEnabled=false;
   temp.mouseChildren=false;
   temp.name="sfx";
   temp.addChild(renderer);
   
   stage.addChild(temp);
   
   Rooms[roomTag].deleteArray.push(temp);//my own custom 'clean up after' array
   
   temp.emitter=emitter;
   
   
   var renderer:BitmapRenderer = new BitmapRenderer( new Rectangle( 0, 0, 550, 400 ) );
   renderer.addFilter( new BlurFilter( 2, 2, 1 ) );
   renderer.addFilter( new ColorMatrixFilter( [ 1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0.95,0 ] ) );
   renderer.addEmitter( emitter );
   
   eArray.push(emitter);
   renderArray.push(renderer);
   
   emitter.addEventListener( EmitterEvent.EMITTER_EMPTY, kill_particles_Bitmap );
   
   
   emitter.x = stage.mouseX;
   emitter.y = stage.mouseY;
   
   emitter.start();
   
   };
   
   function kill_particles_Bitmap( ev:EmitterEvent ):void
   {
   ev.target.removeEventListener( EmitterEvent.EMITTER_EMPTY, kill_particles_Bitmap );
   
   var firstRenderer:BitmapRenderer = renderArray.shift();
   
   ev.target.stop();
   firstRenderer.removeEmitter( Emitter2D( ev.target ) );
   
   //removeMovie(firstRenderer);
   
   ev = null;
   
   firstRenderer=null;
   
   };

   Never mind I seem to have solved the issue.
   I set renderArray and eArray = [] (cleared the arrays) after every instigation of the above code and it works ok now.
