Union member in a struct

[jmodo]

I have the following code which doesn't compile(solaris). "The Union is not accessible from the struct". When I move the Union to be public, it compiles. Can anyone explain this? I'd like to keep both private if possible. Thanks!

private:
Union MyUnion
{
UObject* uobject;
//other variables here
};
struct MyStruct
{
MyUnion myUnion; //Doesn't compile here
//other variables here
};

The union keyword, not Union ;-)

I am using the keyword union. Sorry that 'Union' was a typo.

The problem is that other than within the class, the contents of myUnion cannot be accessed.
