Question

Line 41 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hitTestObject through a reference with static type

Im trying to use the hit test built into flash, but its failing. I have used this many time before! but this time flash is crying at me.

I Think i know why but im not sure how to fix it.

Here is my hit test code:

stage.addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleCollision);          
private function handleCollision( e:Event ):void
          {
               if (MissleMc.hitTestObject(Enemy))
               {
                    trace("HIT");
               }
               else
               {
                    trace("MISS");
               }
          }
I have tried multiple things,  Changing instances, location of the code. I currently have 4 classes, Main, Missile, Enemy and House. House has nothing it in really. Missile make a missile, Enemy Makes a enemy. And main deals with adding it all to the stage, and making it randomly appear ect.

Looks like MissleMc is a class - not an instance. DisplayObject as a Class doesn't have static hitTestObject method.

Yes you are correct, MissleMc is a class, thats the name its exported to. But i have tryed various things.
Well i completely cahnged it now. Cleaned up my code a little created a new Bullet class, that i am currently using. 
Here is the function that fire's the bullet 
private function fireBullet():void
 {
 var newBullet:Bullet = new Bullet;
 stage.addChild(newBullet);
 newBullet.x = house.x;
 newBullet.y = house.y;
 aBulletArray.push(newBullet);
 trace(aBulletArray.length);
 }
So im making the instance bullet, yet still when i use the hit test it does not wotk.
