i am trying to use arrays to add and remove event listeners to some drag and drop items, and keep getting the Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
here's what i got:

I have an array of MovieClips containing about 200 MovieClips, each have its specific x & y positions on the stage & I have another array of TextFields of about 200 corresponding TextFields to MovieClips. What I'm hardly trying to do is to make a loop of "addEventListener" for the MovieClips that will result in appearance of the corresponding TextField alone when I move the mouse over a certain MovieClip, that is a tooltip for each MovieClip alone, while they are all gathered in an array.

I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have an array of buttons - for example "Save & Exit", "Cancel" and "Exit". When one of the buttons is hit I call "button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayMessage);". In displayMessage, I have a switch statement to determine what button is depressed. However, I don't know how to identify what button is pressed. See question marks below:
private static function handleMenu():void {
// Determine which menu button was pressed
switch (????) {

I have a file with a many button instances, the names of which I've put into 2 different arrays. I'm adding an eventListener to each button dynamically using the forEach...in method. I want the buttons in the first array to call a function and the buttons in the second array to call a different function. I'm getting no errors on compilation, but my problem is that buttons in both arrays are calling both functions.
<code>
var btnList:Array = [bRed, bBlue, bPurple, bGold, bGreen];var greenList:Array = [gb1, gb2, gb3, gb4, gb5, gb6, gb7, gb8, gb9, gb10, gb11, gb12, gb13, gb14];

I have an array of movieclips that represent buttons the user can click on them, and so I need to use addEventListener function so the click can be handled. I can use a loop and create en addEventListener for each element, I'll have 26 elements in the array, but I want to try another solution by using only one addEventListener and apply it on the array instead of the elements. I want to know how to recognize which button was clicked, I mean what's its index in the array.

Here's the code
Parent.swf

_mcl.loadClip("Child.swf", rotator_mc);

I was not able to figure out an implementation of the callback function for the filter() method, where the callback was outside of the getGallery() function. I wonder if there is a way to get the isGallery function outside of the getGallery scope?
I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
Can someone please help. I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.

View 2 RepliesIf in a situation, the addEventListener is being assigned more than once for same actionwhat will happen then? Suppose on frame 5 there is ample_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK...... ... and when user navigates the application/site it comes on frame 5 again and again. Will the addEventListener be applied more than once on that button? If yes then what will happen on clicking on that button? will the associated function be called more than once now?
View 5 RepliesI have made the flash file into CS3 and simplified the idea a bit. Basically I want to click the box on the right to start playing the song and the spectrum and then if I click it again it will stop playing the song and the spectrum then if I click it again it will start playing again ect ect. I could not upload the song.mp3 cause the file size was too big you will have to replace it with another mp3 in the root of the folder and name the mp3 song.mp3.
View 3 RepliesiSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?
anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.

I have created a scrolling bar menu. All the buttons in the menu work except for the last two. When I place a trace statement within the function it definitely is listening to all the buttons except for the last two. All instances are named correctly. Can the size of the scroller be contributing to why the addEventListener is not working?
