ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Error 1009 On Clicking Interview Button
Oct 20, 2009
I am getting this error message every time I click on the interview button. The enter button was clicked!
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have this on my entre_mc when I double click on my mc I have
//Go to the myspace.com website
myspace_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotomyspace);
function gotomyspace(evtObj:Event) :void{
var thesite:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]");
navigateToURL (thesite,"_blank");
}
On my stage timeline on frame 20 I have
var entreTween:Tween = new Tween(entre_mc, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 0, 1, 2, true);
So that when I click on the interview button it fades in.
How to solve this error as it will keep popping out whenever I click on the play button of the game I'm creating. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/frame2() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at index_fla::MainTimeline/clickPlay()
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.

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.
I am a beginner in actionscript coding and I am getting the error below when I click the "new game" button : TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at aircombat1_fla::MainTimeline/moveMyfighter()
My code look like this : Code: Select allstop(); scoreDisplay.text=score.toString(); timeDisplay.text=seconds.toString(); Mouse.show(); myfighter.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveMyfighter); enemyTarget.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveEnemy); newgame_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startnewgame); [Code] .....
I'm busy writing this action script, it was suppose to work when clicking on the button: and if you go down up and till line 18....then the computer gave me an error saying; scene 1, Layer 'Actions',Frame 1, Line 18 1086:sytax error:expecting semicolon before leftbrace.
Each "date" aka button when clicked advances to its respective named frame. It works fine until I have a section of the timeline with more than one "entry". I use the same naming process as i did for the main sections using a "next >" button and coding it the same way I coded the main buttons but it doesn't work. I get:Type Error: Error #1009. Cannot access a property or method fo a null object reference atTimeline_Sce3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()I've dragged an instance of the bttn_next onto the stage, given it an instance name, inserted a keyframe into the layer and named the layer to advance to. I know there's something wrong with this button - could this be a flow or inheritance problem? i've commented out the line that throws the error (starts with //btn1974b...). the code reads:
So my problem here is, I'm working on my Adobe Air project, so I decided to code some buttons to be able to navigate. The problem here is that I get a error for trying to do so. Here is my code.
[Code]...
I do not see what is wrong actually, I tried this on a blank non-AIR file, and it worked well.
I also applied a trace statement of "Working?" within the MenuScreen class file and it shows up before the error does! (Even though I don't click on anything...)
Why the following error occurred when the button clicked? The PRStatus button was clicked!

I'm finally getting into AS3 and making a portfolio with left & right (forward & back buttons) This is the code on the actions frame of the main timeline:
I have a site I'm maintaining that consists of multiple pages that tween in their menus on a single monstrous AS2 timeline. I've broken the timeline into their own swfs that I want to now network with a swf loader and AS3 code. I've kept the timeline tween-ins, after stripping the AS2 code off all buttons. I put the AS3 code on the last frame of the timeline in an .as layer.So on the main page, on the last frame of the animation in an ActionScript layer, I put the following:
Code: var defaultSwf:URLRequest=new URLRequest("defaultHeadShot.swf"); var swfLoader:Loader=new Loader(); swfLoader.load(defaultSWF); addChild(swfLoader);
[code]....
I keep getting the Type 1009 error. I'm trying not to have to rebuild the graphics from the ground up, which it doesn't seem like I will have to do. I think it's probably got something to do with putting all the code at then end of these complex tweening timelines, and that a line of code that offers a scoping cue might be the answer, but I'm stumped.
I have a button (LOW_btn), located in one movieclip, and is set to play the next frame of another movie clip "bodybox_mc" and at the same time load an external .txt file into a dynamic text box "musictext_txt", which is deeper within the "bodybox_mc". (There is an update to "musictext_txt"'s scrollbar as well). However at runtime i receive the error 1009 (output is after the code). Here is the code (sorry if the variables and stuff are a bit long):
I built a slideshow system a while back and have revisited the code. At the time I was getting an error so I just wrapped the function that was failing in a try and using brute force made it run the same function again and all worked but isn't very elegant. I click the next slide button in quick succession I get a #1009 error. Its as though the afterslideload function is firing even though there is properly loaded yet.This is actually a plug-in that hooks onto the back of the JW player. It picks up its xml from the players main playlist. So every item on the playlist has its on slideshow xml that contains all the info that the plugin uses to work. Every time the 'itemhandler' (clicking on an item on the playlist) is fired the xml is given to the plugin.The error is:

I have a component where a Button is wrapped in BorderContainer. I'm passing a custom property to the component at run-time to change the label of the button but Flex is reporting the following error:
Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
When the error occurs, Flex highlights the following code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at VM_montering_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
that is one of my problems,
and that i cant link a button to a eksternal website. i have 4 buttons that shuld be linked, but i cant write any codes on the button itself like they have showed me in tutorials.
so what to do, i have been trying many different codes, and none of them works.
this code can only ben used one one button, if several more it gets alots off errors, and stil whit only one it wont link to a website.
ActionScript Code: bad1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClick); function mouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
I'm working on a game, and it was working fine until I added more frames. I have a menu (frame 1) and a separate (frame 2) for the main game. Once I added the menu with a play button I stated to get this error when going to frame 2. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at testgame1_fla::MainTimeline/checkHitTest()
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? (SWF attached)
I have two Flash projects, an Intro (1 scene) and a Portfolio (5 scenes).I copied all layers from the Intro and created a new scene in the Portfolio file,and pasted the layers. All of my buttons work except for the button that brings me from the end of the Intro, into Portfolio.weirdly enough, this the same button that I use throughout the portfolio to bring me to the "Home" scene.When I remove this button, the error message goes away. Below is the action, and below the action is the error message.
I have these actions on Frame 1 which works fine...
[Code]...
The button on that frame (frame 50) is a new instance of the mainMenu button which was used on frame 1, but with new code (see below), which tells it to gotoAndStop on frame 2, but doesn't work. Any thoughts on this?
I have a page that I'm working on that works great except I keep getting an "Output" message stating: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at StillFrameFoto_fla::MainTimeline/portfolioOut() I'm pretty sure I just need to get rid of my button instance, but I don't know how. I have my buttons on frame 1 and I want them completely gone when it moves to frame 2. Here is the code for one of my buttons on the first frame:
I seem to be having a recurring problem attaching events to a button i have created within 2 other movieclips.I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
So it looks like it can't find the button, in order to attach the event listener. The question is why? I am attaching a similar event to a button on the main timeline and that works fine. So it looks like a scope issue, but I am referring to it properly.
I'm running FMS 4 Dev on my win XP SP3 machine, also running flash cs5 professional on same machine. I get the server admin screen to come up and it says it's running. I'm using a tut book on FMS and trying to run the first script in the book. It's long but I'll add the script at the bottom so you can see what i'm doing. In the server app folder I placed another folder called vid2 with nothing in it just like the book told me to do. I wrote the script line for line out of the book. When I test my movie it lays out my video window and buttons. It diplays my ugly mug on the screen. when I press the record button it does nothing. when i press the stop button the output window shows me an error of "#1009 can't access properties or methods of a null object". I assume that this is telling me I do not have a net connection.
when I types in the example it had an IP address in the code.How do I know the correct IP addy to my dev server? If I'm doing development and testing on the same machine do I even need to know this? 2) How will what I'm doing now differ from leasing space from an FMS provider?
import flash.net.navigateToURL; import flash.net.URLRequest; button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, action); function action(e:MouseEvent):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("novosti.php"); navigateToURL( request, "_self"); }
button is instance name of symbol - button, and like that script doesnot work there is error 1009:cannot access.....but when i put symbol with instance name button in form of movie clip, script works.
Acatully I have to face an interview on flashlite. I am not at all getting how get prepare on that. Can anyone give guidlines, questions pattern, interview questions for that.
Starting new thread for this topic as suggested by forum. I have a website which tweens movieclip pages (named home, bio, music, video and contact). Love the effect and trying to keep it. Main timeline contains the main buttons (home_btn, bio_btn, music btn, video_btn, contact_btn). Music page has a XML mp3 player contained in it with button control. Video page has an encoded video with no code.
I need the following:
1 - Music and video to shut off as those pages/movieclips tween off the stage. Gets annoying with them playing especially at the same time
2 - Music player to play correctly. It is not with the new code.
I have the following code. The "Tween Code" is on frame 1 of the main timeline of the movie. The "MP3 code" is on frame 1 of the music movie clip. I am getting the following ERROR message when running my movie. I ran the Debugger as I publish and it points to music.my_channel.stop(); in below code. My thought process on this was that it would reach out to the music movieclip, find my_channel and stop it.
I have created an invisible button myButton_btn inside a moviclip with instance name supermarket_mc. The supermarket_mc is based on a class Supermarket, which has the following code and works fine.
public class Supermarket extends MovieClip { public function Supermarket()[code]....
Now, if I have a button on Stage they work fine when I add a listener to them. However, when I add a listener to myButton_btn ie:
myButton_btn does not react to click events and I get an additional error Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I suspect that the MouseEvent.CLICK in the class definition overrides the MouseEvent.CLICK on the nested button.
