The title says it all. What does it mean?

I get the error when ever dp is called but i have it listed as a variable..any clues?

function Destruct(target : int)
    {
        var dp : TrainingDummyPart = dummyParts[target];

        if(dp.gameObject == null) return;

        dp.shootsTaken = shootsToDestroyPart;

        var go : GameObject;

        if(dp.gameObject.transform.parent != null)
        {
            if(dp.gameObject.name.Contains("head") || dp.gameObject.name.Contains("neck"))
            {
                if(!dead)
                {
                    dead = true;
                    TrainingStatistics.dummies++;
                    GunEffects(false);

                    //audio.PlayOneShot(dieSound);

                    Destruct(4);

                    //animation.CrossFade("dum_death");
                }
            }

            if(dp.gameObject != weapon)
            {
                dp.gameObject.transform.parent = null;
                dp.gameObject.active = false;

                for(var i : int = 0; i < dp.brokeParts.length; i++)

What does your TrainingDummyPart script look like? Because the error is saying that it defines a .gameObject member, and so does UnityEngine.Component, and it doesn't know which one you mean to use. You shouldn't need to define a .gameObject member, but if you do, call it something else, would be the easiest thing. Or you can specify UnityEngine.Component.gameObject each time which gets messy.
