Hi guys. I really hope you can help. Basically I want my rectangle "j_1" to remove it self from the screen when it collides with "side". I keep getting a error. Can anyone please help me :)

Thanks I am greatly thankful.

OMG! Thank you so much! It worked! I'm very thankful for your time and effort to fix this problem.
