The error means that the handler the draw feature control creates by
instatiating your RegularPolygon1 class does not have a setMap method.
So there most probably is a problem with way you define the
RegularPolygon1 class. In its (almost) simplest form it would look
like this:

OpenLayers.Handler.RegularPolygon1 =
OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Handler.RegularPolygon, {
    initialize: function(control, options) {
        OpenLayers.Handler.RegularPolygon.prototype.initialize.apply(this,
arguments);
    }
});

Cheers,
