class array issue

[nigelhoath]

If anyone can explain the compiler error below I'd be grateful and it would end hours of torment. I'm sure its simple but I can't see it. The highlighted error in Eclipse is in bold (line 25).

And any smooth way to initialise a class array when you do not know how many elements you want? I thought the method here would work but perhaps not.

Thanks in anticipation.

The error: No enclosing instance of type autodefcreate is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type autodefcreate (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of autodefcreate).
