AS3 Flash CS6 access of undefined properties? Help will be much obliged - actionscript-3

Question

Properties such as score1; score2, lives1, lives2 and STAGE seem to be undefined properties. I dont see why? Please help...
e.g.
C:\Users\PC\Desktop\Whack My Mole - Android\Game.as, Line 429 1120: Access of undefined property score1.
C:\Users\PC\Desktop\Whack My Mole - Android\Game.as, Line 430 1120: Access of undefined property score1.

Replace:
public static function animate(type:int)
with
public function animate(type:int)
Or if you want to have that method static add:
private static var _instance:Game = null;
in Game Class definition and change animate function:
public static function animate(type:int):void{
if(_instance!=null) _instance.hidden_animate(type);
}
protected function hidden_animate(type:int){
// PLACE HERE CODE FROM YOUR ORIGINAL ANIMATE FUNCTION
}
in constructor function add:
_instance = this;
If you often use static methods (like in this code) read more bout design patterns like singleton :)
