ActionScript 3.0 :: Application Will Not Compile, But Gives No Compiler Errors?
May 21, 2008
I am having a problem that I cannot figure out. I have searched the internet, describing as best I could and I could only find one other person with the same problem as me and no one replied to his post. Here's to hoping someone knows what is up.My App was working fine yesterday, then I added a few lines of code to a class file. When I tried to test the movie, it wouldn't compile. It would just run through all of the frames flashing each control. It does not output anything to the Output window nor the Compiler Errors window, which is odd because even when it would compile before it would output some warnings to the compiler errors window.
So I went into the class I changed and commented out the changes I made. Still will not compile.Also, when I try and go and Debug the movie, it tells me "You cannot debug this SWF because it contains no Actionscript". I've tried researching this problem as well, but it seems that this problem occurs when people are using the Document Class. I am not using a document class. My actionscript is on the frames.This same problem happened for the first time on Monday, but by tinkering with files/settings, it was fixed. That is until yesterday when i made that change.

In flexbuilder 3 for some mxml files I can purposely put in syntax errors and the compiler will seem to compile the specific page(but actually not compile it) or report any errors for that page. Is there any way that you know of to get the compiler to report the errors to me so I can get it to compile the page. I've tried rebuilding all and cleaning the project already.

Just upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5Code that worked in CS5 now gives compiler errors:Symbol 'VideoPlayerMC', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 211119: Access of possibly undefined property state through a reference with static type flash.events:VideoEvent.Symbol 'VideoPlayerMC', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 421119: Access of possibly undefined property PLAYHEAD_UPDATE through a reference with static type Class.

I have a project with 430+ as3 classes, which we have been developing for a year.
For about a month now, sometimes the FLA won't compile, and no error or warning will be displayed. When I publish the movie, it takes about 60 seconds to compile, but when it's finished, the swf file produced it's only 1,1KB (instead of 850k which should normally be) and I get absolutely no Compiler Error or warning.
Sometimes, if I delete the ASO files and recompile, it works fine. Other times, this won't do it and I would have to quit Flash and open the project again. I have "Compress movie" and "Reduce file size and increase performance" set to false for nearly 2 months now, because I read somewhere that Flash can have trouble with projects using hundreds of classes (this actually helped).
Last week however, I cannot get it to work. No matter what I do, it won't compile. I try to delete a whole bunch of code from the Main class, get it to compile fine and then add a few lines each time, only to see that any random line of code can make it stop compiling again.

I've made an image map in Flash using AS3, however it does not seem to be working properly. The links only work in a strange succession. In order to click all the links you must first click the last link followed by the first link, then the second link. After that the image map behaves as it is supposed to. I'm not sure why this is happening. It complies without error and aside from the little quirk mentioned above, it works beautifully. I've checked and double checked the AS, even copied and pasted some code from one button to another to see if it would make a difference, but to no avail. I am using the code listed below:
[quote] button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink1); function callLink1 (event: MouseEvent) :void { var url:String = ("http://www.google.com"); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url); try { navigateToURL (request, "_parent"); } catch (e:Error) { trace ("Error occurred!"); } [/quote]

I have been given an SWF to edit a link in the AS code. The fact is the SWF uses some XML that is generated (actually retrieved) by PHP code from a database. menuXML.load("/sub/page/dynamic.php?genre=" + genre); so the point is we can use the same SWF 'mainfraim' and fill them with different animations/sources based on the link provided in dynamic.php?genre=### Now, I've used Flash Decompiler Gold to extract all files in the SWF and can open it again in Adobe Flash to edit it. When done I enter CTRL+ENTER and there are immediately 4 compiler errors!! Errors:
1x < Unexpected 'if' encountered >
2x < Statement block must be terminated by '}' >
1x < Ecpected a field name after '.' operator. >
How can these errors be present, when the original SWF works perfectly??! If I don't manage to solve this, I'll have to find out how to create an .php file the SWF tries to use which can select the proper resources (from a database I guess) to show them (using ?genre=###)

I have been lurking here for a while. Whenever I get stuck I usually search through forums and find my answers. This ones not returning any results... So I've joined up. USING: Flash 5.0 in Windows, no flex [b] Here's my issue:[/b] I am working through Lee Brimelow's [b]Click and Zoom 3D Carousel[/b] video and I got to the first time he goes to preview his movie at about 23:50 and I get nothing. No compiler errors and no images, just a black screen...
So I figured the XML didn't go through correctly. I tried playing with the code but to no avail... If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! My tutorial document is located in the Carousel folder on my desktop, files and images are all there.

Flash cs3 on Vista computer - Using Actionscript 3.0. When clicking the check syntax in Actions panel. I am getting a message that "This scripts contains errors. The errors encountered are listed in the Compiler Errors panel." But there's nothing in the panel. The script was working fine before I added a mask but stopped working after I added it.. Not sure even where to look as even when I publish the movie I'm not getting any error message to point me in the right direction. Anybody know if there is some way to have Flash tell me where the error is? The weird thing is if I create a new flash document and just put stop(); in the actionpanel, I'm getting the same message.

I have created a MovieClip with a custom class that has a dynamic text field (called "textArea"), which I want to modify by the Component Inspector, as well as via a custom method using: textArea.text = newText;
It works fine in all cases and there are no problems, but the compiler still wants to give me the error: 1120: Access of undefined property textArea.
The error doesn't appear when I remove the component parameters (so that it's just a normal MovieClip). It still works, even with the error, so I'm not sure why it wants to complain. Am I doing something wrong or is it just being bitchy?

I have made multiple movies compiled in flash player 6.0 with AS 1.0. Now the problem is that when i compile the movie with the new compiler for Flash 7 under AS 1.0, there are a lot of runtime errors. There are no error messages, just screw ups during runtime. But if played with Flash Player 7, it works.
For example kirupa's volume control with slider doesn't work. So I am just wondering what script changes i need to make. I have tried declaring my variables and making them case sensitive. But there are still problems. I just need some generalizations on what I should do. For me compiling under 7.0 is enticing becuase of the speed enhancements for the 30% of ppl who do have the new player.

working on an actionscript project to try and make an interactive drag and drop document. Currently everything has been working fine until I recieved this error after adding in another object to drag and drop. I've only added in one additional one so far, making the total of object in my script as two. I'm not sure why this error is coming up or what it means. Please let me know if the error means that my script only applies to one specific object or if I wrote it correctly to address all objects I place in my script

I am following a code example in a book and have the final fla and as files, so I know the project works when fully coded.In the book, it tells me I can test the movie to make sure that it is working so far. When I do that, I get the error 1120: Access of undefined property.
The "property" is a component instance. If I take the example completed code and remove everything up to the point I am at, I receive the same errors, so I know it's not a spelling/syntax mistake.I have a feeling it is the Compiler in Strict Mode. But, when I change it to Standard Mode, then I get error 5001: The name of package 'com.foundastionAS3.ch12' does not reflect the location of this file. etc.
note:: attached is a file of the compiler when it gives me multiple 1120s.

this will throw a runtime error if you don't override the init function in an extending class. (look below)
is there anyway to force a COMPILE error instead of a runtime error? my guess it not, but if there is a way i want to do that

I'm trying to open a pdf inside flash. I followed a tutorial online but I'm have issues with the compiler. Here's my code:
import flash.html.HTMLLoader;
import flash.html.HTMLPDFCapability;
import flash.html.HTMLWindowCreateOptions;
if( HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK ){
[Code] .....
It results in these errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: UIComponent.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method UIComponent.
I've tried to import fl.core.UIComponents in the beginning but that resulted in this error: 1172: Definition fl.core:UIComponent could not be found.

I have a Flash builder project that I am migrating from SDK 4.1.0 to 4.5.1. This has been a relatively easy change (we are using maven for our builds, and were able to get a successful build after updating to the 4.5.1 dependencies).
As said, the project builds fine with maven and flexmojos. The issue is when opening the project in flash builder. The maven project is imported and then set as a flex project by running the maven flexmojos:flexbuilder build command.
The issue lies when certain mx components that are specified with the s: namespace are no longer accepted by the IDE, and result in an error. For example, for the following to compile:
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal" />
<s:State name="disabled" />
</s:states>
s:State must be changed to the mx namespace:
<s:states>
<mx:State name="normal" />
<mx:State name="disabled" />
</s:states>
This is just one example, and only happens for certain spark-namespaced components. Why is this? Why does this compile OK with Flex SDK 4.1.0 but not with Flex SDK 4.5.1, and what is the cause of the necessary namespace change?

Those who had started with AS2.0, mostly complain about AS3.0's restricting warnings and errors displayed at the compile time. Which was almost too weak ( and made to feel breeze ) in AS2.0 .However, recently, i was undergoing a hell time debugging, that made me realise how AS2.0 makes a slip, because of weak compilation.
Code:
class MyClass
{
var abc:Number ;[code].....
in the above trace statement, one would always get undefined ( but no compile time error ) even when i am trying to call getAbc() which is actually a private function.

If I use the code-snippet(as a seperate class called Helicopter.as)below with Flash or Flashdeveloper it works fine. If i use FlexBuilder (Actionscript project)I get these errors. is there some settings I have to change in FlexBuilder?

I use CS4.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code]...........
Both of these are saved in files with the name same as the classes.
Both are saved a folder which also contains an fla file name hello.fla.So,when test the movie(hello.fla),after choosing the document class as WavyBall,I get these errors: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Ball.
Source: var Ball:Ball;
1120: Access of undefined property stage.
Source:Ball.x=stage.stageWidth/2;
1120: Access of undefined property stage.
Source:Ball.y=stage.stageHeight/2;
5000: The class 'WavyBall' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.What is wrong?

I am writing up an app that must not be allowed to shut down the users system under any circumstances, thus I need to learn how I can terminate my app. What tools are there to do this? So, Is there a basic way to have a "global error sniff" that somehow determines that the app needs to be terminated - and thus prevents affecting other processes that are running?
