ActionScript 3.0 :: Cannot Access A Property / Method
Nov 6, 2010
Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>.Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf.The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button"racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error.[code]when I press any button everything works fine except from bordButton to racerButton
[code]Is my code and when adding the backtostart function i always get the error if i remove the back and backtostart parts of the code it runs fine any help?
Created preloader, and after flash loaded want stop on label 'welcomeSite'. And on that label will have button, after click this button what play code from function 'irisDescription'.
But see error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at FlashSite/flashSiteLoading()[FlashSite.as:28]
code: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.*; import flash.text.*; public class FlashSite extends MovieClip [Code] ..... 27 line is: irisBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, irisDescription);
I want to create an array of strings in a text class that I can access with the main document class. Then I'll be able to populate a text field with items in the array. The purpose of this is to avoid having massive lines of text in my main document... but I can't even get my test to work. The compiler is telling me that the array (txt1) is undefined. First here's my code for the array:
"Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."I'm trying to get a button to go to a frame in my movie and stop. The code I am using is
Code:
btn1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler5); function mouseDownHandler5(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(19); }
I have a slight problem. 3 scenes one named home , gallery and profile . 3 buttons each named after the scene. Whenever i test it and click a button to go to another scene i get this TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have been trying to design a maze game for college project but I seem to be stuck and hoping someone can help me out. Get error:1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at code::Game1$iinit()New to flash so not sure what this means. [code]
well i have a problem with my analog clock. i have it in my homepage and now it's working fine, but when i test my movie and click in my portfolio, for example, my output windows gives me this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/clock() i don't understand because even when i change from page to page (or frames) the clock is still working and everything is ok... but the message keeps appearing till i close my test movie window... and i've noticed that when i go online, there are some files missing that weren't till i had the clock on my homepage.[code]
I am just trying to watch television episodes on my laptop. this error has been popping up for the last couple weeks for no apparent reason. At first, it also said the Flash Player didn't work with 64 bit whatever with IE8. The error said a patch was not yet made and to use IE 32 bit. I did this and am still getting the error. I have uninstalled flash player and reinstallaed it to no avail. This error led to further problems on my laptop resulting in a total crash. Fortunately, I was able to back up all my files before they disappeared. I restored the computer to a time before I started watching television programs on XFinity.com (about a couple months ago) and it seemed corrected for a while and then the error started again. I am given the option to continue or dismiss. either button allows me to continue watching the program, but then repeatedly appears even when I quit XFinity and watch the shows directly from the network websites.
Code: Select allTypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at main::as/menuFeatOn()
here is my code
Code: Select allmenu_feature1z.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, menuFeatOn); menu_feature1z.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, menuFeatOff); function menuFeatOn(event:MouseEvent):void{
[Code].....
menu_featurez is a box i created on the main timeline for people to mouseover on top of the button. the button itself is a movie clip with the transition tween inside called menu_feat1.
I'm trying to create a simple user name and passwor screen which will link to a menu and in the menu will have a choice of three games to play.frame 1 is the logon screen. Frame 2 the menu.

I have a mutiple choice quiz which is spread across a number of frames, the same script is used for each frame only using different named variables.The code works fine on the first frame but I get the Runtime error 1009 on the 2nd, 3rd etc frame.My guess is it's to do with the way i've declared the next_btn, but im not sure.[code]
AS3 and object oriented script. My issue involves instantiating movieClips and referencing them correctly to avoid:Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I've spent hours researching this and know I am referencing an object that is not there but I don't understand how to instantiate the movieClip (I think I need to generate a class for the main movieClip?) I am such a noob and really apologize for the lame question. my file is hereThe file works but I know I'm doing it wrong and really would love to know the right way!Here's the full error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at problem_file_fla::avalanch_holder_6/frame200()[problem_file_fla.avalanch_holder_6::frame200:4]
Im getting a 'TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference' when I try to gotoAndPlay(15) in my .fla file. It can start playing frame 15 fine if there is no actionscript on it ie just an image but as soon as I add actionscript code it gives me the error. I have been trying for hours to try and solve it so if anyone coud help it would be much appreciated!I have included the.fla file and stripped most of the graphics out so it's under 300kb limit.
I'm getting:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at CatProcess/validateAge() When I attach the textbox manually without the function, it works fine though

Because of this I am fighting with a number of packages that control a game I am trying to build. What I'm struggling with now is a map class being added to a strategyGame class.
The strategyGame.as listens for the spacebar to be pressed and held. Then calls spaceListener() in the map() which allows the the user to click and drag the map to move it on the stage.
But when I test the movie I get an error:
Code: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at map()
