ActionScript 3.0 :: Error #1009 (null Object Reference) When Calling A Function?
Jan 19, 2009
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);?

Simple to understand problem, hoping for similarly easy solution:When I type in my search query, I sometimes get the "Error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" on the dataField = new ArrayCollection(result.data); line.

private function getSearch():void

I have a custom function that doesn't function correctly the first time the function executes it removes a textFiled from the display list without a problem but the second time that it executes it won't remove a diffrent textfield and I don't know why here is the code from the time the textField is added to the diplay list to where its deleted.Btw the function in question is being executed by a custom event listener.....the errors i receive are TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference...Also note that i can remove the textField in question from any function other thatn the one the custom event executes.
PHP Code:
sendBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMsg0,false,0,true);
msgOut.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, sendMsg1,false,0,true);
comboBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,chFontSize,false,0,true);[code]..........

i am working on a project that has separate swf files serving as different sections (students, faculty, etc). for each section, on the first frame i have a combobox that lists the different values within that particular section. when a user clicks on the value, it takes them to the specific frame within that swf. there are two problems:
1. when the user selects a value, everything functions correctly but an error is thrown that says:

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.
at 2file_fla::MainTimeline/frame3144()
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.

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 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.

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....
at welcome_fla::MainTimeline/PL_LOADING()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

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]

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..

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. But when I add a simple MC to the up state of the button, flash gives me this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at BtnWithMCinside_fla::MainTimeline/frame18() The 'mc within a button' method has worked great until that button is placed beyond the first frame. why this is happening and how to fix it?

This 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,
