AS2 :: Timeline Control - Error Stating Movieclip Is Not A Static Attribute
Apr 14, 2010
I'm currently attempting at a little flash project where i have a movieclip travelling vertically downwards along the Y axis. When it hits a certain axis (in this instance, 500), I have a class written so that the movieclip then travels back upwards along the Y axis. I want the movieclip to change frame when it hits 500 along the Y axis (it's a movieclip of a bird flying towards the sea, and as it flies back up i want a fish in it's claws). I've tried looking into a method to do this, but nothing seems to work! I tried adding to following line of code into my class -
{
if(_y > 500){
enemy1.gotoAndStop (2);
}
but it gives me an error stating my movieclip is not a static attribute, and i have no idea what that means. I've tried putting a variation of this code into frame 1 of the movieclip itself, but it just skips straight to frame 2 without taking notice of any code relating to the Y axis.

I was recently able to get AS3.0 to connect to a MySQL database using PHP. However, my employer decided that he wants me to use a Java Servlet for the communications rather than PHP. I have written the servlets and they are all working properly, however, I can't get flash to run them properly in the application. When running the servlet I get an error stating "Error opening URL" Are there any specific changes that I need to change in my code so that I am able to communicate with a servlet?

I'm trying to fade in a button when my flv finishes, but I get this error: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type ClassThis is timeline code. I don't know if that matters. I'm sure this is more simple than I'm making it, but I've looked at it too long.
ActionScript Code:
btnContinue.setStyle("textFormat", btnformat);
btnContinue.useHandCursor = true;
btnContinue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnContinueHandler);

The error is: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at movie_fla::ABC_3/frame116() And on frame 116 I have MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(2); On my main timeline I have 4 frames, each one has a MC on it. There is a stop() on frame one. When the movie plays it plays the MC on frame 1 of the main timeline. That movie clip has a movie clip in it that plays to completion and on the last frame I tell the main timeline gotoAndStop frame 2 in this manner: MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(2); It plays just fine other then the irritating error. And the puzzler is, the same code on all the other Movie Clips works fine without throwing out an error.
So the only obvious difference is that in my movie clip on frame one I have a movie clip nested in it that has the code on the last frame. The other movie clips run error free also are not nested. I've searched for hours trying to figure it out and know its gotta be something simple but I can't seem to get it worked out.

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

what i'm trying to accomplish is onthe rollover of a button, a picturefades in, and on rollout, the picturefades out. that shouldn't be too hard,but i would like to have one rolled out and another rolled over, so one pictureis fading out, and another fading inthese pictures are supposed to overlayso i am thinking that i will need to useactionscripts to control the timeline ofa movieclip.

I have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.

I have a stop on my main timeline. At the stop I have a movieclip play. In the movieclip I will have a video play. After the video plays I have a button for the user to continue play until the end of the movieclip. Once the movieclip is done I want to resume back to a specific frame in my main timeline.

I am trying to do a simple thing in theory. In my main timeline I have a series of images with frame labels for each. In a movieclip (with its own labels) below the images, I have two panels of butttons that flop back and forth (to save space). The idea is to simply have the maintime play the frame specified by the corresponding button in the movieclip. [code]...

I created a Movie Clip with a button inside it. The Movie Clip contains simple animation within its timeline. I dragged the Movie Clip to the main stage and tested the movie/ My goal is to have the button start the animation inside the Movie Clips timeline but it is not working.The Movie Clip instance is named 'film_mc' and the button inside it is named 'first_btn.' The frame is labeled 'one'. I tried these two Action Scripts that I put on the main timeline. Where am I going wrong?
film_mc.first_btn.onRelease=function(){
film_mc.gotoAndPlay("one");
}

I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){
//var l:Loader = new Loader();

I've created a movieclip with buttons inside that I want to use to navigate to different scenes on the main timeline. I have created a function() that loads the button movieclip into the main timeline, but if I try to write a function() to activate the button and move the main timeline to a different scene/frame label it doesn't work. I have tried various things:
navBack_mc.book_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop("book1");
}
I put the code above on the main timeline. It doesn't seem to work. Basically, I could put just an on(release) handler on the buttons, but I wanted to try to keeping all the AS in one place if I can.

I want to use the Event metadata tags to show what types of event my control will dispatch. The syntax looks like:
<fx:Metadata>
[Event(name="eventName", type="MyEvent")]
</fx:Metadata>
It seems like a best practice in Flex/Actionscript to define static variables that define event names like so:
public class MyEvent extends Event
{
public static const EVENT_NAME:String = "eventName";
// Other stuff..
}
It's a great practice since the event name can change easily and not have to be modified throughout the code. So my question is: Is there any way to use this static const in my metadata event tag? I can't seem to do something like this:
<fx:Metadata>
[Event(name="{MyEvent.EVENT_NAME}", type="MyEvent")]
</fx:Metadata>
Am I just ignorant of the proper syntax to do this, or is it impossible? Seems like it's just asking for hard to find bugs if someone decides to change the const since it is not strongly typed here.

I have a play and mute/unmute MC in a timeline instanced as "btn_playMute." The movie clip contains two frames. Each frame contains a button and some AS3. Here's the goal: When the flash loads, a video starts playing with the volume turned all the way down. This video continues, and loops when it gets to the end, ensuring that the volume is all the way down. I'm doing this as such:
HTML Code:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
videoPlayer.volume = 0;
videoPlayer.source = "dieSort.f4v";
videoPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,rewindAndMute);
function rewindAndMute(videoEventObject:VideoEvent):void {
[Code] .....
The problem is that when I click the button the first time, which restarts the video with the volume up, I get the following error in the Output panel:
HTML Code:
Play Button Clicked
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Semigen_fla::btn_playMute_1/frame2()[Semigen_fla.btn_playMute_1::frame2:3]
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at Semigen_fla::btn_playMute_1/playHandler()[Semigen_fla.btn_playMute_1::frame1:9]
Any reason why my control MC is not changing states properly from "rewind and unmute" to "mute"?

Is it possible to reference a control in an application from a static function?
What I have is a Viewstack containing VBoxes stored in separate controls. Ex:
<mx:ViewStack id="content" width="100%" height="100%" resizeToContent="true">
<controls:Login/>
<controls:Dash/>
[Code]....
Once I get logged in on my login control, I would like to change the selected index of my ViewStack. From my outside controls, I cannot reference my ViewStack by name. I can reference a public static function from an outside control however I cannot refer to the ViewStack from within that function.

I'm trying to publish my AIR app from Flash CS5.� Publishing has been fine, until I tried to use my own icon.
�
In the Adobe AIR 2.5 settings, under the ICON tab, I select my icon.
�
Now when I publish, I get the error: application.icon is an unexpected element/attribute
�
Now even if I don't include the icon, I can't publish.

I've found a ton of articles on fixing the same problem re application.version is an unexpected element/attribute - but nothing on this icon prob.
