Error: Incompatible types:got Pointer expected TOBject

I get an error when trying to compile,  Error: Incompatible types: got "Pointer" expected "TObject", the code that does this is as below.

procedure TjanHTMLParser.GetParsedLines(alist:TStringlist);
var
  s:string;
  j,i:integer;
  obj:TObject;
  HTMLTag:THTMLTag;
  HTMLParam:THTMLParam;
begin
  for i:= 1 to parsed.count do
  begin
   obj:=(parsed[i-1]);

I found info regarding typecasting but I don't understand what is meant, any help would be appreciated.

I believe it happens on this line:

Code: [Select]

obj:=(parsed[i-1]);What's the type of parsed? I guess it's a TList or something similar that stores pointers. Perhaps you can use typecasting like this:

Code: [Select]

obj:=TObject(parsed[i-1]);

Thanks Leledumbo,

You are correct, it does break at that point, so I will try to typecast as you suggested and see if that works.
