error 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:DisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip - actionscript-3

Question

Building a top down shooter, and after fixing some bugs an making everything work i am left with only one more.
error 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:DisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip.
This is the Level.as where all the object are loaded

Where it goes wrong is in the Enemy Class in the eFrame Function. Here a loop runs trough the array bulletContainer from Level.as. A new variable is made and it should consist of the bullet that is in the loop out of the bulletContainer, and here comes the error in place
package{
//we have to import certain display objects and events

import flash.events.*;

//this just means that Enemy will act like a MovieClip

{
//VARIABLES
//this will act as the root of the document
//so we can easily reference it within the class
private var _root:Object;
//how quickly the enemy will move
private var speed:int = 5;
//this function will run every time the Bullet is added
//to the stage
public function Enemy()
{
//adding events to this class
//functions that will run only when the MC is added
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, beginClass);
//functions that will run on enter frame
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);
}

{
_root = Sprite(root);
}

{
//moving the bullet up screen
y += speed;
//making the bullet be removed if it goes off stage
if(this.y > 400)
{
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);
this.parent.removeChild(this);
}
//checking if it is touching any bullets
//we will have to run a for loop because there will be multiple bullets
for(var i:int = 0;i<Level.instance.bulletContainer.numChildren;i++)
{
//numChildren is just the amount of movieclips within
//the bulletContainer.
trace("LOOOOOOOOOP");
trace(Level.instance.bulletContainer.getChildAt(i));
//we define a variable that will be the bullet that we are currently
//hit testing.
var bulletTarget:Sprite = Level.instance.bulletContainer.getChildAt(i);
//now we hit test
if(hitTestObject(bulletTarget))
{
//remove this from the stage if it touches a bullet
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);
this.parent.removeChild(this);
//also remove the bullet and its listeners
Level.instance.bulletContainer.removeChild(bulletTarget);
//bulletTarget.removeListeners();
//up the score
Level.instance.score += 5;
}
}
//hit testing with the user
if(hitTestObject(Level.instance.SpaceAuto))
{
//losing the game
trace("DOOOOOD");

this.parent.removeChild(this);

i have tried make it Sprite or anything else but i just dont know how to fix this so it wil take the bullet so i van see if it hits the Enemy
var bulletTarget:Sprite = Level.instance.bulletContainer.getChildAt(i);

Answer 1

getChildAt will return a DisplayObject type, and hitTestObject requires a parameter with DisplayObject type.
So try this in your Enemy's eFrame function.
var bulletTarget:DisplayObject = Level.instance.bulletContainer.getChildAt(i);
