What is wrong with this snippet of code? It gives me a #1009 error. How do I make it so that event listener will work with this child? This is all on the first frame. I want it to stay in the first frame (I don't like using external stuff with packages)

Its a bit strange really, I have a Main class that has 2 children, Child1 has a variable goldCount that needs to be parsed to Child2 via the Main class (directly doesn't work either so far) Child1 has this function:
Code:
public function Getgoldcount():Number {
return goldCount;
}

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is the error I cannot seem to understand. On the stage I have a movie clip, mcTree. It's keyframe is in frame 3143. There is no tween or anything. In frame 3144, I have the following actionscript:
mcTree.gotoAndStop(2);
I publish the movie and I get to frame 3144 then BAM TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

As you can tell, I'm more than 3000 frames into my animation here and have made it this far using this method, and it has worked.
I'm having some problems with a script.I developed the app on a mac. It's intended to be both on mac and windows and also air and swf (I save data or not depending if it's installed or not).I've tested it on mac and several pc (winXP) but on win 2003 server and win 2008 server I get an error. Also on a winXP without flash player installed (through the projector) breaks at the same point.The problem is on the red line. It does always work right, sound loads, plays and when it finishes the event is called (in this case it loops). In other cases when sound completes the event should load a screen or so but, as I get an 'Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference' so the movie stops.I need all sounds to be inside flash so I put them in library and set their classes as com.escacs.sound.* (there are many sounds) I can't understand how mainSC can be null or undefined if the previous instruction initializes it.

I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3.0, and I'm having some trouble with this error. I'm currently setting up a small Space Shooter game and am stuck at this error. All was working fine until I started to code the movement class.Error:

show a demo using Actionscript 3 where a child movieclip is added dynamically in a loop using addchild within a cotainer movieclip. Then the child movieclip has an addEventListener MouseEvent added to the child, not the container, in the code.
View 4 RepliesI have entered this code into the first frame of an empty movie that has a MovieClip object that was exported for actionscript. The addChild code works fine, but I am wondering how to add an event in the object that calls a function in the object which will be added to the main stage. In the same way as saying m.onEnterFrame = function {} from AS2
View 1 RepliesI am programming a "build a tower" game. After removing the event listener from the first movieclip, flash won't add the event listener to the by as3 to the stage attached new movieclip.
[Code]....
I built a custom designed checkBox. The movieclip is in the libary and dragged onto the timeline of my .swf. I'm using CS4 & AS3. I'm using procedural AS3 instead of OO AS3.The checkbox movieclip has a child movieclip inside of it so I can apply a drop shadow filter to some of the graphics .When I put an eventlistener on the custom checkbox it works fine but when I try to reference the checkbox movieclip inside the eventlistener function, the event.target.name is referring to the child movieclip (just a graphic with a drop shadow filter).From my reading it looks like the function propogates down to the child movieclip but I don't want it to do that.How do I reference the parent movieclip? or
B. stop the eventlistener from propogating down to the child movieclip?
I tried using stopPropagation(); but it didn't stop the function event.target.name from trickling down to the child movieclip.Here's what AS3 looks like.The trace statement displays "step3_mc.cbEmail_mc.instance25"instead of what I need "step3_mc.cbEmail_mc"
step3_mc.cbEmail_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fnc_cbClick);step3_mc.cbAgree_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fnc_cbClick);

Starting new thread for this topic as suggested by forum. I have a website which tweens movieclip pages (named home, bio, music, video and contact). Love the effect and trying to keep it. Main timeline contains the main buttons (home_btn, bio_btn, music btn, video_btn, contact_btn). Music page has a XML mp3 player contained in it with button control. Video page has an encoded video with no code.
I need the following:
1 - Music and video to shut off as those pages/movieclips tween off the stage. Gets annoying with them playing especially at the same time
2 - Music player to play correctly. It is not with the new code.
I have the following code. The "Tween Code" is on frame 1 of the main timeline of the movie. The "MP3 code" is on frame 1 of the music movie clip. I am getting the following ERROR message when running my movie. I ran the Debugger as I publish and it points to music.my_channel.stop(); in below code. My thought process on this was that it would reach out to the music movieclip, find my_channel and stop it.

I have created an invisible button myButton_btn inside a moviclip with instance name supermarket_mc. The supermarket_mc is based on a class Supermarket, which has the following code and works fine.
public class Supermarket extends MovieClip
{
public function Supermarket()[code]....
Now, if I have a button on Stage they work fine when I add a listener to them. However, when I add a listener to myButton_btn ie:
supermarket_mc.myButton_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, turn);
myButton_btn does not react to click events and I get an additional error Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I suspect that the MouseEvent.CLICK in the class definition overrides the MouseEvent.CLICK on the nested button.
I am not an expert in flash, but i do work with AS and tweak Flash projects , though not having deep expertise in it. Currently i need to revamp a flash website done by one another guy, and the code base given to me, upon execution is throwing the following error."--- TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null objectreference.atNewSite_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp_ContactOutP1_ContactOut_Contents_ 0() at NewSite_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() --"The structure of the project is like, it has theifferent sections split into different movie clips. There is no single main timeline, but click actions on different areas of seperate movie clips will take them between oneanother.All the AS logic of event handling are written inline in FLA , no seperate Document class exists.
Preloader Movie clip is the first one getting loaded. As i understood the error is getting thrown initially itself, and it is not happening due to any Action script logic written inline, because it is throwing error even before hitting the first inline AS code.I am not able to figure Out what exactly it causing the problem, or where to resolve it. I setup the stuff online, for reference if anybody want to take a look at it, and here is the link.You need to have flash debugger turned ON in your browser, if need to see the exception getting triggered.

Im making a cooking game and basically I have my buttons and background export to the stage, which is good, but now I want to make it so when you click on the mustard it exports the mustard movieclip to the stage.For some reason I am getting an error that does not make any sence to me.

I've been away for a while and I just started to work on my new portfolio website (in flash). The design is finished and I followed a tutorial on youtube called the ''the fluid flash website to keep your flash website always centered''.The tutorial went good but when I wanted to go to another frame with other contents, an error appeared in the browser saying:

when all my script code is in the first frame everything working fine, but when I put some code in second frame, i've got the error:

in the second frame i've receive the error i wrote about in the beginning. (i click btn_training, script sends me to the second frame, and when i click btn_back i receive the error).
sometimes I get this strange error during gameplay:
Code:

I still don't know what causes the error. The only thing I discovered is that sometimes an object is null inside of my SoundManager. But I don't know why. I already checked all appropriate arrays if something's missing there but all seems to be ok there.

I am trying to use the scroll pane component and I am having a few teething troubles. I have a scroll pane as a child object of a movie clip which is essentially a 'page', if I display this page it works fine and the scroll pane does too. If I then remove this page from the display list, go to another page and come back by readding it to the display list, I get the following error, even though nothing else has changed:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at fl.containers::ScrollPane/fl.containers:ScrollPane::endDrag()
The scroll pane is still visible and works correctly, but ideally I'd like to stop this error.
The problem I've found that I keep having and that is pretty recurring between a few of my classes is that several classes use addEventListeners for complete events on loaders, tweens, etc. The question I have is, how do I catch those events in the event that the instantiated class object is removed from the swf file? Because the eventListener keeps listening, for some reason(I assume the object is removed from the stage but garbage collector doesn't get it right away).
My current, most prominent example is this:I have a photo album that utilizes php to import filepaths on the server. There are basically 2 stages: one screen where all the albums are displayed, and another screen where all the images for a given selected album are displayed.
The problem is that when you click one of the albums, it loads all the images from that album and THEN transitions to the viewing page. This is good because it doesn't load all the images from all the albums.
The problem is, it's possible for the user to click one album, and really quickly, before the "album" page fades out, click another album.
If I've managed to not twist your brain inside out with this poor explanation, you may see that the loader object for the previously clicked "album" button will still be loading the one of the previous images. So, when the complete event for the loader is fired, I get this:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Which I assume, obviously, is 2 separate error events. I'm already using error catching that's working for another purpose, but I just can't catch these ones no matter where I put my catch statements. Any help?
Here's the code:
Code:
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//////some stuff here
////////preps album images for display
[code]....
The first type error gets caught. It loops back through and works fine when you only click one button at a time, but otherwise it freaks out. I just don't know where to put the catch statement so that it just shuts up...
This error only appears on one var! It didn't happen earlier. Why is this occuring? size_ns is a Numeric Stepper.the error:

size_ns.addEventListener("change", styleListener);

I have code on the first frame of timeline and code in a class file and when publishing I get Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent. This error gets thrown on the frames where I have buttons and their corresponding MouseEvent code, thus the MouseEvent error I suppose.Although I don't know how to fix it, I tried adding import flash.events.*; to the first frame's code, which resolved the Error 1046, but then caused Error 1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference pointing to line 29 of the class file which states container.addChild(btn); - the last item in the class file below.Each set of code works fine by itself, but when used together causes a problem. Can someone assist with what I need to change? I suppose there is some sort of conflict with the MouseEvents?
Code on the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
