I am trying to use the following code to simplify multiple Hittests using an Array, but the code won’t work. Can anyone tell me why?

var blockArray:Array = new Array(“block1”, “block2”, “block3”);

player.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, blockTest);

function blockTest(evt:Event):void {  
for(var i=0; i\<blockArray.length; i++) {  
if(player.hitTestObject(blockArray\*)) {  
player.x +=40;  
}  
}  
}

Thank you in advance.
