error on array declaration

I'm sorry, I did not mean to ignore you, I did not have the chance to check until today.

I was trying to reproduce an example that Colin made with a single object and make it work with an array of objects. I created a square, a triangle and a rectangle. I import the images instead of creating them in animate(not sure if that makes a difference). make them movie clips and declare the array var shape:Array =[square, rectangle, triangle]; and when I try it out it gave that error message. And you are right the error is not just for square, but for all the objects.

var shape:Array = [square,triangle,rectangle];

for (var i = 0; i < shape.length; i++)

shape.buttonMode = true;

here is Colin's code where I replace every instance of shape with shape did not work so I tried replacing it with event.target, it did not work either.  Colin created something else, but I will not be able to try it until Monday as I do not have access to the software right now.  Thank you.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

shape.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pressed);

var rotationValue: Number = shape.rotation;

var startMouseAngle: Number;

function pressed(e: MouseEvent) {

  var dx: Number = e.stageX - shape.x;

  var dy: Number = e.stageY - shape.y;

  startMouseAngle = Math.atan2(dy, dx) * 180 / Math.PI;

  rotationValue = shape.rotation;

  stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, updaterot);

  stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stoprot);

}

function updaterot(e: MouseEvent) {

  var dx: Number = e.stageX - shape.x;

  var dy: Number = e.stageY - shape.y;

  shape.rotation = rotationValue + Math.atan2(dy, dx) * 180 / Math.PI - startMouseAngle;

}

function stoprot(e: MouseEvent) {

  stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, updaterot);

  stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stoprot);

}

'square' would be the instance name. This is the fourth topic about the same code.
