as3 error loading "good" "bad" array - actionscript-3

Question

I am creating a "good" "bad" array to display on screen which i can later use simple if statements to do something upon if the player has collided with the "good" "bad" objects.
I cant get the objects to randomly generate on screen with the following code.
// Create and Set good/bad random Word objects
public function newObject(e:Event)
{
var goodObjects:Array = ["WordObject1"];
var badObjects:Array = ["WordObject2"];
if (Math.random() < .5)
{
var r:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*goodObjects.length);
var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName(goodObjects[r]) as Class;
var newObject:MovieClip = new classRef();
newObject.typestr = "good";
} else
{
r = Math.floor(Math.random()*badObjects.length);
classRef = getDefinitionByName(badObjects[r]) as Class;
newObject = new classRef();
newObject.typestr = "bad";
}
newObject.x = Math.random();
newObject.y = Math.random();
addChild(newObject);
objects.push(newObject);
placeWords();
}
// create random Word objects
public function placeWords() {
objects = new Array();
for(var i:int=0;i<numWordObjects;i++) {
// loop forever
while (true) {
// random location
var x:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*mapRect.width)+mapRect.x;
var y:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*mapRect.height)+mapRect.y;
// check all blocks to see if it is over any
var isOnBlock:Boolean = false;
for(var j:int=0;j<blocks.length;j++) {
if (blocks[j].hitTestPoint(x+gamesprite.x,y+gamesprite.y)) {
isOnBlock = true;
break;
}
}
// not over any, so use location
if (!isOnBlock) {
newObject.x = x;
newObject.y = y;
newObject.gotoAndStop(Math.floor(Math.random()*1)+1);
gamesprite.addChild(newObject);
objects.splice(newObject);
break;
}
}
}
}
i get the following errors:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property x through a reference with static type Function.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property y through a reference with static type Function.
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Function to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Answer 1

Try renaming var x and var y to something else. Those are public properties in any class that extends as a display object (Sprite/MovieClip/Shape).
