Arrays of user objects

I've created a fairly simple class and can instantiate and work with
objects of the class. Now someone has asked for the ability to
create arrays of objects, which I thought would be straight-forward,
but I'm getting errors from the subsref.m function.

I don't understand why subsref is being called. I'm attempting to
create an array as follows:

obj1 = myClass(args);
obj2 = myClass(args);
objArray = [obj1,obj2];

If I then ask for objArray(1), I get subsref errors, because the
objArray is of type myClass.

I thought subsref was for handling index references INTO an object,
e.g. obj1(1), whereas this is a case where I want to index into an
array and get a myClass object as a return value.

What am I misunderstanding? Is there a way to assign objArray =
[obj1,obj2];?

thanks,
Bruce
