Why is .getComponent here 'not a function' in console errors?

        for (let i = 0; i < this.hotspots.length; i++) 
        {
            if(i != currHotspot)
            {
               this.hotspots[i].getComponent(Hotspot).animCtrl.SetTrigger("Close");
            }
        }

A hotspot entry is a component?

Rewrote as

               let animT = this.hotspots[i].getComponent(Hotspot);
               animT.animCtrl.SetTrigger("Close");

Still not playing ball :frowning_with_open_mouth:

Hotspot is a script import { Hotspot } from "./Hotspot";
