hello,

I am trying to replace a movie clip image with a bitmap image and now the code to fire the image(missile) doesn’t work. I get these errors:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property dx through a reference with static type flash.display:Bitmap.  
1119: Access of possibly undefined property dy through a reference with static type flash.display:Bitmap.

anyone know why it’s not working? Thanks

package {

import flash.events.MouseEvent;  
import flash.display.Bitmap;  
import flash.display.BitmapData;
