<br>> Thanks for replying...I've updated my code but I still cant get it to work:

<br>> class graphics_Object(QtGui.QGraphicsPixmapItem):

<br>>     def __init__(self, parent=None):

Should be graphics_Object here, not switch_Object ^ (in the call to super).

Don't think that is the problem though, but it's late here and I have to sleep.
