InvalidCastException

For some reason, this error keeps popping up

InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.
(wrapper dynamic-method) UnityEngine.GameObject.GameObject$GetComponent$ (object,object)
Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.Invoke (object,string,object)
UnityScript.Lang.UnityRuntimeServices.Invoke (object,string,object,System.Type)
ButtonClick…ctor () (at Assets/scripts/ButtonClick.js:1)

and i think i’ve got everything right, because it’s working the way i want it to

i’ve got this script on one object

var Puzzpillar01 : PillarSpin = GameObject.GetComponent(PillarSpin.js);

function OnMouseDown(){
	animation.Play("ButtonPress");
	Puzzpillar01.spin();
}

and this one on another

var position : String = "0";

function spin () {
	if (position == "0") {
		position = "1";
		animation.Play("Puzzpillarspin0");
	}
	else if (position == "1") {
		position = "2";
		animation.Play("Puzzpillarspin1");
	}
	else if (position == "2") {
		position = "3";
		animation.Play("Puzzpillarspin2");
	}
	else if (position == "3") {
		position = "4";
		animation.Play("Puzzpillarspin3");
	}
	else if (position == "4") {
		position = "5";
		animation.Play("Puzzpillarspin4");
	}
	else if (position == "5") {
		position = "0";
		animation.Play("Puzzpillarspin5");
	}
}

and everything seems fine, but the error still keeps popping up. is there a problem with my code?

You most likely need to replace GetComponent(PillarSpin.js) with GetComponent(PillarSpin). File extentions aren’t included in the class names.
