I don't understand why I am getting an error 1009

Question

this is the code :

function checkShoot():void

{

if (player.isShooting == true)

{

var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet(player.x,player.y,player.playerDir);

stage.addChild(bullet);

trace(player.playerDir);

player.isShooting = false;

}

function frameHandler(e:Event):void

{

if (platform.hitTestPoint(bullet.x + 31,bullet.y,true)) //it says the error is coming from here

{

trace("HIT PLATFORM:" + counter);

counter++;

}

I don't understand why this error is occurring. Please help me.

bullet is local to checkShoot. ie, it doesn't exist in frameHandler so that if statement will trigger a 1009 error

you can remedy that error by 'typing' bullet outside checkShoot, but they may cause other problems because you'll be using one reference (bullet) to identify more than one object (assuming you call checkShoot more than once).
