[AS3] Error 1006

[bencakir]

I have a guy moving around a maze. Set up pretty well. However, I have one problem

TypeError: Error #1006: hitTestObject is not a function.
at mazegame_fla::MainTimeline/handleCollision()
Here is my code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

stop();
/* Click to Go to Scene and Play
Clicking on the specified symbol instance plays the movie from the specified scene and frame.

Instructions:
1. Replace "Scene 3" with the name of the scene you would like play.
2. Replace 1 with the frame number you would like the movie to play from in the specified scene.
*/

return_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_6);

function fl_ClickToGoToScene_6(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 1");
}

stop();

var walls:Array = new Array(wall4_mc,wall5_mc,wall6_mc,wall7_mc,wall8_mc,wall9_mc,wall10_mc,wall11_mc,wall12_mc,wall13_mc,wall14_mc,wall15_mc,wall16_mc);

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, pressKeyDown);

function pressKeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void{

if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT){
dude_mc.x -=5; 
} 

if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT){
dude_mc.x +=5;
} 

if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.UP){
dude_mc.y -=5;
} 

if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN){
dude_mc.y +=5;
} 

}
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleCollision)

function handleCollision( e:Event ):void

{
    if(dude_mc.hitTestObject(hit_mc))
       {
           gotoAndPlay("1","Scene 6");
       }
       else if(walls.hitTestObject(dude_mc))
       {
           gotoAndStop("1","Scene 5");
       }
}

The swf plays, but this shows in output and guy doesn't go to "x" scene when he hits walls

You can't checkk collision for arrays, because arrays just stores datas. You can only check collision for instances such as wall1,wall2 etc.. which is currently displayed. So you must run a for cycle to check the collision for each wall in it, and if it hits some of them, then just jump to the scene.

function handleCollision( e:Event ):void

{
    if(dude_mc.hitTestObject(hit_mc))
       {
           gotoAndPlay("1","Scene 6");
       }
       else
       {
           for(var i:int = 0; i < walls.length; i++){
                   if(dude_mc.hitTestObject(walls[i]))
                   {
                      this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleCollision); //remove event listener (collecting garbage)
                      gotoAndStop("1","Scene 5");
                      return; //No need for further check so return void.
                   }
           }
       }
}

When I try your code it still no-clips and returns this:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert wall4_mc$ to flash.display.DisplayObject.
at mazegame_fla::MainTimeline/handleCollision()

wall4_mc is used 52 times in my thingy. Maybe thats the problem?
