Simple Error #1006: value is not a function problem!

[EL1T3Z]

Well I'm so close to understanding why this doesn't work.
First here is the code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,updateGame);
var gameZoneContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(gameZoneContainer);
var ItemSelectedContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
gameZoneContainer.addChild(ItemSelectedContainer);
var i:int = 0;
var frameToCreateObjectOn:int = 24;
var createItemCounter:int = 0;

var fish:MovieClip = new fish_mc();
var cookie:MovieClip = new cookie_mc();
var Items:Array = [fish,cookie];
var numberOfItems:int = Items.length - 1;

function updateGame(e:Event):void
{
	if (i==frameToCreateObjectOn) {

		var ItemSelected:MovieClip = Items[createItemCounter];
		//var holder:MovieClip=Items[createItemCounter];
		//Assign a random x position to fish
		ItemSelected.x = 50 + Math.random() * (480 - 120);

		//Assign the y position to the rectangle
		ItemSelected.y = 100;

		//Assign a random x and y speed for the rectangle
		ItemSelected.yspeed = Math.random() * 10 + 5;

		//Add ENTER_FRAME listener for the ItemSelected
		ItemSelected.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ItemSelectedPositionLoop);

		//Add the ItemSelected to the stage.;
		ItemSelectedContainer.addChildAt(ItemSelected,0);
		i = 0;
		
		if (createItemCounter==numberOfItems) {
			createItemCounter = 0;
		}
		else {
			createItemCounter++;
		}
	}
	i++;
}

function ItemSelectedPositionLoop(e:Event):void
{
	//Save the ItemSelected to a local variable
	var ItemSelected = (Items[createItemCounter])(e.target);
	

	//Update its position
	ItemSelected.y +=  ItemSelected.yspeed;

	//Remove the ItemSelected from the stage if it surpasses stage
	if (ItemSelected.y > stage.stageHeight + 70) {
		ItemSelected.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ItemSelectedPositionLoop);
		ItemSelectedContainer.removeChild(ItemSelected);
	}
}

The error is:

TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
	at ArrayTest_fla::MainTimeline/ItemSelectedPositionLoop()[ArrayTest_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:102]

Line 102 is:

var ItemSelected = (Items[createItemCounter])(e.target);

The problem is to do with:

(Items[createItemCounter])

If I place "fish_mc" in place of "Items[createItemCounter]", the fish animates but the cookie doesn't. If I put "cookie_mc" instead of "Items[createItemCounter]", the cookie animates but the fish doesn't.

There feels like there's a simple thing to change but I can't figure it out!

The error occurs when a value is converted to a function by for example placing () behind the value. May be you need to eliminate the parentheses in line 102 around e.target.

Thanks for your reply, it did work although I receive this error:

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

The line that this happens in is:

ItemSelectedContainer.removeChild(ItemSelected);

I understand the error but I don't understand why it's happening when I have added the MovieClip to ItemSelectedContainer.



I went back however and tried something else out and this worked in a similar way except for another output error.
I created:

var Items2:Array = [fish_mc,cookie_mc];

And replaced "Items[createItemCounter]" with "Items2[createItemCounter]" on line 102 so it looked like this:

var ItemSelected = (Items2[createItemCounter])(e.target);

The ouput error I received from using that is:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert fish_mc@42ff121 to cookie_mc.
