Subject: Heterogenous_Array_Test: please explain error

Isn't this the 'standard' way of implementing an heterogenous array?
Why is it not working?  Please explain the compiler's error on the last
statement.  Thanks.

procedure Heterogenous_Array_Test is

  type Root is tagged record
    Root_Component: Integer := 0;
  end record;

  type Child is new Root with record
    Child_Component: Integer := 0;
  end record;

  type Class_Ptr is access Root'Class;

  Item: array(1 .. 2) of Class_Ptr := (
    1 => new Root,
    2 => new Child);

begin

  Item(1).Root_Component := 11;

  Item(2).Root_Component := 21;

  Item(2).Child_Component := 22;
    -- error: no selector "Child_Component" for type "Root'Class"

end;
