Why does this code not work? It seems to make the error:#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. my buttons on the same frame have all stopped working,

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 want a typewriter-effect. So that it looks like the code in the string is typed character by character (for an animation). However, I get a #1009 back. It talks about a null object reference (the error is in Dutch).My dynamic text field is in the same scene, on a different layer. codeTekst is the instance name. It is classic, dynamic text. Multiline behaviour and not embedded in a symbol. I'm using Flash CS5. Here is my code:

Im trying to finish a small project im working on and this is the only bit that i have difficulty with. I have an image which tracks the mouse and reveals a masked image below.

I create a button .when i want controle it via actionScript encounted with this error :
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Document()
When I try to run this code with the main file being documentclass and the highest in the code heirarchy, it comes up with error 1009, but I cant see the problem. The playscreen class with the constructer function is there, in the same folder as the document class but document class is saying it is a null object reference. When I try to run the code with the main file being playscreen, there is no problem, it runs perfectly.
[Code]...
The playscreen class is too big to fit here and I dont want to trouble you with the details. But I can assure you it DOES exist and it is NOT null.
This might be alittle complicated to explain but I'll try to do my best.I have a basic setup of 3x4 isometric boxes that you can drag and sort around on a grid. This works just fine. Each box is a instance of a custom class of mine called Kiste (which consists of several sub-objects).hile sorting I have to use a procedure like this to get the parent Kiste-object of the dropTarget as droptarget will always get me the "lowest" object possible instead of the topmost:
Code:
function whileDrag(e:Event):void{
var dt:DisplayObject = dropper.dropTarget; // Dropper is a empty Sprite that is constantly

I have this preloader code on frame 1 in my MAIN swf file with the content on frame 2

Also an external swf file is loaded using the same code on frame 1 in its main timeline this works when I test local but it outputs an error....

On line this prevents it from working at all.Basically I need each external content to have its own preloader for its content.If you go to my site you will see it works on the intital load but when you hit the home button it fails [URL]
I'm having a hard time because of an "Error #1009:Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" Iget everytime I try to run my Flash-movie. I've attached the codethat is contained in frame 1.The function bringUpEasyQuestion is defined on frame 2, alongwith other functions that are defined there. Now when I test themovie, I get this message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method ofa null object reference.at MES_fla::MainTimeline/bringUpEasyQuestion()atMES_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()I've read that the Error1009-message means that you aretrying to access something that isn't there yet. And indeed, thebringUpEasyQuestion-function accesses objects that exist only onframe 2. But the first line of the function bringUpEasyQuestion isgotoAndStop(2);. The curious thing is that it works when i put thelast line of the code in frame one (the function callbringUpEasyQuestion(0);) on the first line
with the command gotoAndStop(2);?
i made an external .swf with the "Displaycontent = image slideshow" in it voor the main site called Teaser, so when i press a button on the main site, it loads the Teaser.swf.when i press that button again, it loads again the Teaser.swf on top of the first Teaser.swf. so i decided to remove the first swf, but then the problem started."TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at easer_fla::MainTimeline/onResizeStage() line 128at Teaser_fla::MainTimeline/onTeasLoaded() line 70

I have been getting this Type Error 1009 at the following Loop:

if(hitTestObject(walls[i]) && hits > 0) {
explodeX = this.x;
explodeY = this.y;
[Code] .....
ActionScript Code:
parent.removeChild(this);
But that doesn't work. Still get the error
I know roughly what the error means. And used to solve them, but with this one i cant. So: On the frame 4 im creating 3 different dataGrids. There is some code in there and the button which will take you back to the frame 2. So i get this error every time i click the button to go back. + instead of seeing frame 2, i see frame 2 mixed up with frame1. I went through the code, and found out, that the error occures only because of one of the lines:
ActionScript Code:
addChild(dataGrid1);
addChild(dataGrid2);[code]....
Component dataGrid was added on the fourth frame, but then i added it to the first frame.All the imports are on the first frame.
I've googled this error a ton but haven't found anything relevant yet. I'm in an AS 3.0 class (as in a room with people and a teacher and text books and lectures .. not a class file) and we're all getting the same errors.Basically we all have to create a file with 10 buttons. Each button needs to go to a new frame. On that frame we have a separate actionscript 3.0 code that does something (for this question, I do not think it matters... each script on each frame has to show off a different AS 3.0 code that proves we've learned something).
So let's say we have 11 frames. Frame 1 has the navigation and the intro. Frames 2-11 each have a stop(); and a new code.So each frame has different content (except for the background and navigation buttons which are consistent on all frames). The problem is that on one frame we have an ENTER_FRAME on a movie clip that points to a specific function. On that particular frame it works fine but once you navigate to a new frame on the timeline - the function continues to run in the background and we get the "#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" error. (I assume it's because on the new frame the content from the previous frame no longer exists. By content I mean the movie_clips/buttons/etc..)Once the functions start to run on top of each other in the background - the entire SWF just devolves and breaks down because it's trying to do too many things at once.removeListener seems like the obvious answer but on each new frame it generates an error because it can't see the content from the previous frame on which the Listener was added. Putting it on the navigation button codes doesn't seem to work either.

Thats the error messege i get when it tries to play. What I have is an swf that loads another when its done, the new swf is blank but has a document class to an AS file.It seems the problem lies when a function is not properly being added to the stage.The function is added like this..
Code:
package{
public class QuizApp extends Sprite{
public function QuizApp(){
createButtons();

I have a movie clip that starts lets say @ frame10 and ends @ frame20 I have a button to toggle the visibility of that movie clip on/off even if the movie clip is not currently displayed on the stage. The reason I am getting Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference is because my movie clip (as I read from previous posts) has not been instantiated yet.
I have over 50 movie clips like this one (to act as labels, as i scroll through the timeline the labels appear and disappear to follow an anatomical structure on series of images). Is there an easy way to instantiate all of those movie clips although they start and end at different points on the timeline? I got a headache from finding a solution for this.

I have a button at the start and end of a short timeline, it works fine.

View 4 RepliesThis seems weird. My code worked in the original FLA (using AS3) but when I 'Save As' as a new doc,
It gives me a compiling error below:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at flash_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Does it have to do with path to the Library? Is there a way to reset this within Flash or do I have to copy and paste the code to a totally new AS3 file?
I am creating a little mini site for the web. The buttons within the movie work fine but when I create a button from a graphic, and try to tell this to link to an external website and open in a new window I am getting : Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference, in the Output and when I click on the button nothing happens. I have found lots on the web about this error but nothing that i can understand enough to fix the problem. I just want to make a button from a graphic and link to somewhere - the code I am using for the buttons is:
vim_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vim);function vim(event:MouseEvent){navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.vimeo.com/"));}
I have this code attached to a key frame .....what does this error mean and why can't I do this seemingly simple thing?
I ve got a very simple combobox, 3 data items and an event handler. The catch is that the combobox is in an external swf loaded into the main swf through the loader class (worked fine in CS3 & CS4). Heres the only AS3 code for the box:
[code]...
The symptoms are as follows: When used in an external swf the combobox does not show index 0 (it blank) and when clicked throws the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.[code]....
When the external swf is run independently the box mostly functions, it does not throw an error and properly calls the event listener, however, it does not show the default selected index and when the combobox is changed it does not keep the current selection visible.This worked perfectly in CS4 & CS3, theres really nothing complicated about it. I have entirely deleted the old CS components and replaced them with brand new CS5 components,
public function Main() {
assetCollection = new Array();
for (var j:uint=0; j<5; j++){
[code].....
why I would get this error 1009.
