IDE :: Errors When Creating Scrollpane Dynamically?
Sep 6, 2007I've been trying to create a scrollpane dynamically but I keep getting a bunch of errors when I publish the swf. At first I thought maybe there was a problem with my code so then I looked in the file and copied and pasted one of there examples into a blank fla and I still get the same errors when I publish. If I look at what is the source of the errors it looks like the error originates at this section of the ScrollPane.as file:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Flaming Mouse Trail And Getting Errors
Nov 5, 2011I've been busy with a small tutorial on creating a flaming mouse trail. I'm getting two errors though in the same line which I do not understand in the following part of my code:
function startTheFire( e:Event ):void{
TweenLite.to( e.target,0, {alpha: ( e.target.alpha -= 0.05 )} );
if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )
e.target.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, startTheFire );
removeChild( e.target as Sprite );

Both refer to the following line: if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )
ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Global Values - When I Go Back To Main Menu Errors Keep Showing Up?
Nov 8, 2011I'm a begginer flash game developer-ish individual working on my first project - An economic game with RPG elements, I'm mixing AS 3.0 with Flash CS5 (for the graphics, buttons, tweens and the simple stuff in general since it's easier for me atm than scripting it). The trouble started when I had to script in variables. I've sorted out a couple of issues but a few still remain:
1. I need to limit three of my main skills to 0-100. Only managed to stumble across tutorials for AS2,
2. Each character will have 3 main skills, and then the 18 secondary skills will be calculated from those 3 values. This works fine, when I modify existing variables directly in the code. The thing is that I created those buttons that add or subtract from a certain skill value, but when I press them the var changes but all of the 18 skills remain unchanged (as if they do not refresh themselves - i was thinking about an eventListener waiting for a change in skill value but if I would have to do one for every one of the 18 skills in conjunction with the 6 buttons to change levels - so 144 functions - im thinking maybe an array...but I'm such an actionscript newb that I can hardly translate the tutorials into my ideas.
3. Also wondering how to create a pool of unused skill points so when I add points I can't max it out right off the bat but rather take it from that value instead and once it's 0 you can't add points anymore.
4. Last but not least, I'm having trouble creating global values. My main menu is in scene1 and when I press Newgame it goes to scene2, the problem starts when i go back to main menu errors keep showing up (since scene 1 has no information about statistics but a function probably keeps asking )which means that the program can't get access to an attribute or a method of reference for the null object at MainMenu_fla (don't be fooled by the file name, I have everything in 1 fla file)Of course an error pops up for every skill, main or secondary.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Object Name Causes 1026 And 5000 Errors
Oct 22, 2010I have been using Flash for a long time and I have never seen this error before. I have the solution for this, but I don't understand what is actually causing the issue.
I have attached a zip file with an fla and two as files. If you run it as is you will get :
Code:
1026: Constructor functions must be instance methods.
5000: The class 'Main2' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
5000: The class 'MemoryGame' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
The problem appears to be that on frame 3, we have an instance (named replayButton) of an object called btn_Replay, with linkage turned on correctly. If you rename the object and linkage to Replay (or anything else) it works fine. Set it back to btn_Replay, it breaks once again.
There is nothing in the code that should affect this.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Restart The Game Without Getting A Bunch Of Null Object Errors?
Apr 14, 2011I am almost done my short AS3 "Flight of the Conchords" game I just want to attempt to do one last thing...to successfully restart the game without getting a bunch of null object errors. The way it restarts now is that if you die or win the game then a screen pops up and a button takes you to the previous scene (menu), the problem is that once it goes to the previous scene all these null object errors occur.
P.S. This is my second time working with AS3, and I was able to do this following a YouTube tutorial by Borris123psn.
Actionscript 3 :: Make Lots Of The Same Object Appear Randomly On The Screen Subject To Conditions And Keep Getting Errors?

I'm trying to get the program to generate a library object called "Enemy" on the screen at a random position each time the conditions are met. It's called enemy because I was following a game tutorial...actually it's a drawing of a leaf. Here's the bit of the code which is causing me problems:

Actionscript 3.0 :: Errors (#1009) Cannot Access A Property Or Method Of A Null Object Reference While Navigating Through Tested File
Aug 4, 2009I am new to flash. I am experiencing random (at least to me) errors (#1009) while navigating through my tested file. I can't reproduce them everytime. It only happens sometimes. Usually they occur after I have clicked back and forth between different pages (frames). Sometimes the error shows up once, and the file moves on as if nothing bad has happened. Sometimes the error continuosly displays, which really slows down the test. One example of such: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at About28_fla::MainTimeline/clickResumeFromAbout()

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Object Inside Another Object?
Aug 11, 2010is it possible to create instance inside method of another instance? But I want new instance to be sibling of instance where it was created.something like this:
ActionScript Code:
parent = new Parent();
childA = new Child();
parent.addChild(childA);
Child class would have this onclick event function:
ActionScript Code:
public function child_click(e:MouseEvent):void {
childB = new Child();
}
I want "childB" to be child of "parent", no property of childA. so I could do:
ActionScript Code:
parent.addChild(childB);
how is this possible without passing "parent" instance as parameter?

Sep 11, 2008Back in the day (AS2), I used to create what I called an"ivar" property that collected the index of a series of buttonsthat were clickable (see attached code). Imagine 10 buttons on thestage with names (selectButton0, selectButton1, ...selectButton9).The code under the //----------BUTTONS header would make a propertyof the button that was clicked, call it "ivar" and then send it upto a function that would use it as an index to then load theappropriate content with MovieClipLoader (remember that Class?).I have tried something similar in AS3 without any luck sincethe whole button thing is now steered by events. Does anybody knowan elegant solution that would achieve a similar result. That is,click a button called "selectButton0" and have returned the zero asan index variable that could be used further?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Object References In Array
Oct 29, 2010I want to do is create several arrays to hold groups of movie clips (i am using as buttons) which have similar functions so that I can add event listeners using a for loop statement rather than making a huge list of add and remove event listeners.I have seen this method working before but I cannot get my code to work!! This is probably a very noob concept but I have been struggling with it for hours.Ok, so in the extends movie clip bit on my as file I declare the array as such:public static var controlBtns:Array;Then in the initializing function I put values into the array as such: [code]The trace seems to output all the object names (as they are listed in the library) and then I get this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.Which is kind of obvious as I cannot seem to access the movie clip instance names that I have set up in the array.I tried putting quotation marks around the names in the array making them strings but then I can't access properties of strings - which is obvious enough to.

var test:Array = new Array()

Every object in the array gets their attribute carscale set to 5.Is there any way I can do this without using external class files?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Random Tween Of Certain Object
Aug 23, 2010What I want to achieve is a script that creates a random tween of a certain object (a button object in this case), within a confined space (i.e. don't move the button out of visibility completely). My basic idea is:
a) for each button (there will be about 5 or 6 buttons in total), get its position.
b) for each button, move (randomly) either left or right by X pixels and (randomly) either up
Or down by Y pixels (where X and Y are random numbers within a specified range, e.g. random number between 10 and 40 pixels for instance). [However, before moving the object, determine if the new coordinate will put the object out of visibility. If it will, repeat step b) until it won't put it out of visibility. if actionscript has while loops, I'm sorted]
c) repeat from a [is there something like javascript's setInterval() for actionscript?].
ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Object After Creating It Dynamically?
Dec 19, 2011I have a MovieClip that I made with a simple text box inside to hold some text..
I am basically using it to generate a "member list".
Each name would have its own TxtSlot_mc... so it can be manipulated later.
I have so far been able to dynamically load a concatenated string of member names from php into flash and then split the string into an array.
I have also been able to create each movie clip and assign the member name to the text in the text box and add/position it to the screen.
The problem I am having is that after exiting the function that handles the creation I can't figure out how to get access to them.[code]...

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Video Object - How To Add CuePoints
Mar 9, 2007My question deals with adding a cuepoint in actionscript 3 using code. In flash 8, I made use of the FLVplayback component which included a method addASCuePoint(). In Actionscript 3, I am now using the standard method of creating a video object, except i can't figure out how to use actionscript to add a cuepoint. In the AS3 LiveDocs entry for NetStream , it list only event and navigation as cuepoint types. Previously there was a third type of cuepoint: actionscript.
Code:
public function LoadVideo(){
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var vid:Video = new Video(320, 240);
[Code] .....
I am guessing one option is to create an onEnterFrame function that compares the NetStream.time to each value in my cuepoint array, and then do a addEventListener(EventType.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame); Although this might work it requires my application to loop through my cuepoint array every single frame, which isn't really efficient.
