Hi, Bernard. If I understand you correctly then it sounds like everything is working the way it is supposed to. A protected property isn't available anywhere outside of its class. Therefore a method in the class can modify the property, but no object that inherits from the class can. You would need to send a message to a class method that say's I want to set a value for oldtop. The method in the class would be responsible for doing it. (i.e. the code to set the property would be in the class.)
