More on reflection: how do I handle an object type

Hello all. I've made progress with the reflection examples you guys provided last time I was stuck, but now I'm running into a new problem.

Let's say I have a function that creates a new object from a string containing a type name, like this:

Function CreateNew:Object(ObjType:String) 

	'Creates a new object based on a string containing the desired Type 
	Local id:TTypeId = TTypeId.ForName(ObjType) 
	
	If id
		Local Obj:Object = id.NewObject() 
		Return Obj
	Else
		Return Null
		Print ("Object type  " + ObjType + " is not recognized") 
	EndIf
	
End Function

That works fine, but there's a catch: the object returned is an "object" type. Let's say I need a "Tentity" type that I created, and I use the above function to retrieve it from a text file, and I put it in a list.

As soon as I try to access a field in it (like the field "name", that belongs to the Tentity type) the compiler complains, saying it can't find it. In other words, if I create a "Tentity" type directly, I can access its fields just fine, but if I create it using the above function, the compiler doesn't seem to understand that it is a "Tentity" type (or whatever type), not an "object" type

If that's not clear I can post the entire code, but it's quite long.

Thanks in advance!
Leo.
