Solved: Issues with passing a reference and using it

Projects Programming

Hey all,

I've have seemed to successfully pass a reference to a LiquidCrystal object to my constructor, however, when I try to use this reference, I get this error:
request for member 'clear' in '((Bullet*)this)->Bullet::_lcdScreen', which is of non-class type 'LiquidCrystal*'

Here is my code:

------ Bullet.cpp ------

/*
  Bullet.cpp - The library for the bullets.
  Created by duckboy81, Jun 2012.
*/

#include "Arduino.h"
#include "Bullet.h"
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

Bullet::Bullet(int startCol, int startRow, int startMoveSpeed, LiquidCrystal* startLcdScreen)
{
  _lcdScreen = startLcdScreen;
  colPos = startCol;
  rowPos = startRow;
  moveSpeed = startMoveSpeed;  
  currSpeedClock = 0;
  
  _lcdScreen.clear();
}//Bullet()

------ Bullet.h ------

/*
  Bullet.h - The library for the bullets.
  Created by duckboy81, Jun 2012.
 */
 
 #ifndef Bullet_h
 #define Bullet_h
 
 #include "Arduino.h"
 #include <LiquidCrystal.h>
 
 class Bullet {
   public:
     Bullet(int, int, int, LiquidCrystal*);
     int getCol();
     int getRow();
     int updateDraw();
   private:
     int rowPos;
     int colPos;
     int moveSpeed;
     int currSpeedClock;
     LiquidCrystal* _lcdScreen;
 };

#endif

If I try to use startLcdScreen instead for a call such as "startLcdScreen.clear()" I also get an error:
error: request for member 'clear' in 'startLcdScreen', which is of non-class type 'LiquidCrystal*'

Thanks for you help in advance!

EDIT: SOLVED

I needed to use this kind of constructor

Bullet::Bullet(int startCol, int startRow, int startMoveSpeed, LiquidCrystal& startLcdScreen) : lcdScreen(startLcdScreen)
