problematic types

I am having trouble with the types in my 3d game. I started with the template from Mak's xfighter, and have built greatly on it.


there are 2 types, cursor and Player

His code goes like this:
player1.Player=p1CreatePlayer( plane,0,0,GraphicsWidth(),GraphicsHeight(),joy )


Function p1CreatePlayer.Player( plane,vp_x,vp_y,vp_w,vp_h,ctrl_mode )
p.Player=New Player
Return p
End Function




My code goees like this:

curs.cursor = p1createcursor()


Function p1createcursor()
p1cursor.cursor = New cursor
Return p1cursor
End Function

My code comes up with an error message "illegal type conversion", while his does not. Why???

Function p1createcursor.cursor()

Thanks alot
