ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Error 1009 When Navigating Through Tested Files
Aug 4, 2009
I 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()
The general structure of my file is this: I have pages laid out on separate frames with movieclips embedded within each other on the frames. Navigational movieclip buttons remain on essentially every frame. Three of them are: 'About', 'Contact', and 'Resume'. I wrote Listeners for each frame that go from that frame to any of the others. For example, to get from my 'Resume' frame from the 'About' frame, I wrote a Listener called 'clickResumeFromAbout', which is what the above error refers to.
The code in context:
mResumeGlow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickResumeFromAbout);
function clickResumeFromAbout(e:MouseEvent):void {
mBoxAbout.gotoAndPlay(mBoxAbout.totalFrames-mBoxAbout.currentFrame);
mBoxAbout.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterResume);
function enterResume(event:Event):void {
if (mBoxAbout.currentFrame == 150){
mBoxAbout.stop();
mBoxAbout.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterResume);
gotoAndStop("Resume");
}}}
However, the error above occurs when I click 'Resume' from 'Contact' (not from 'About' as the error states). It only occurs after I've been flipping between frames for a bit (I'm assuming I've clicked 'About' at some point).

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've been trying to make a scrollbar and everything works fine, until i have to connect it with the text. theres an image and a title that i want to scroll with the (static) text so i created a movie clip (instance name cafe_txt), and when i wrote the script and tested the movie, i come up with the 1120 error that cafe_txt is not defined.So i changed the clip(thinking that the problem was the scrollbar had to be in the same instance as the text) so that the scrollbar was inside, and i come up with error 1067(1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:MovieClip to an unrelated type flash.text:TextField.)
I've tried changing names, double checking that instance names are correct,moving things, changing the text so that its dynamic not static(if the scrollbar is connected to just the dynamic text it works,it just doesnt scroll the full length of the text) here's the code in my stage:
I've used the XML grid photo gallery on my website that was featured in a tutorial on this website: [URL]However, whenever I click on another area of my website (eg. the contact page, homepage etc) ... the XML photo gallery still remains on the screen. I've been told to use the code (below) but it still hasn't resolved the issue. Where exactly do I post the code? All of my code for my background music, navigation buttons etc for my website are on one frame in the timeline.
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.
I am not an expert in flash, but i do work with AS and tweak Flash projects , though not having deep expertise in it. Currently i need to revamp a flash website done by one another guy, and the code base given to me, upon execution is throwing the following error."--- TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null objectreference.atNewSite_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp_ContactOutP1_ContactOut_Contents_ 0() at NewSite_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() --"The structure of the project is like, it has theifferent sections split into different movie clips. There is no single main timeline, but click actions on different areas of seperate movie clips will take them between oneanother.All the AS logic of event handling are written inline in FLA , no seperate Document class exists.
Preloader Movie clip is the first one getting loaded. As i understood the error is getting thrown initially itself, and it is not happening due to any Action script logic written inline, because it is throwing error even before hitting the first inline AS code.I am not able to figure Out what exactly it causing the problem, or where to resolve it. I setup the stuff online, for reference if anybody want to take a look at it, and here is the link.You need to have flash debugger turned ON in your browser, if need to see the exception getting triggered.

I added a flv into my Scene 1 then i added a new Scene.I just wanted to after finishing the .flv flash go to next scene.but when i added a new scene,and I test my movie,the .flv didnt show and i recieved these errors
stop(); button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClick3); function playClick3(Event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(422); }
On frame 422 there is no code at the moment. I keep getting the error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I've been away for a while and I just started to work on my new portfolio website (in flash). The design is finished and I followed a tutorial on youtube called the ''the fluid flash website to keep your flash website always centered''.The tutorial went good but when I wanted to go to another frame with other contents, an error appeared in the browser saying:
Code: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at serrick_port2_fla::MainTimeline/resizeDisplay()
The code for the website is:
Code: stop(); import flash.events.MouseEvent; var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
when all my script code is in the first frame everything working fine, but when I put some code in second frame, i've got the error:
Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at khekhe_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[code]....
in the second frame i've receive the error i wrote about in the beginning. (i click btn_training, script sends me to the second frame, and when i click btn_back i receive the error).
sometimes I get this strange error during gameplay:
Code: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
[code]...
I still don't know what causes the error. The only thing I discovered is that sometimes an object is null inside of my SoundManager. But I don't know why. I already checked all appropriate arrays if something's missing there but all seems to be ok there.
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.
I'm creating a simple gallery for a website which literally loads the next image when the image is clicked. I've set it up so that the images fade in. When i preview the .swf file in flash i get the below message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.atOutside_Portrait_fla::MainTimeline/fl_FadeSymbolIn_12()Everything seems to work ok, but im wondering if this is going to cause any problems. I've copied in the action script text which i have used below.
stop() /btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9); function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9(event:MouseEvent):v oid
I'm trying to set up a contact form but I get a #1009 error. I read somewhere that it has to do with false targeting but I can't find my error(s). Please help.

I have code on the first frame of timeline and code in a class file and when publishing I get Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent. This error gets thrown on the frames where I have buttons and their corresponding MouseEvent code, thus the MouseEvent error I suppose.Although I don't know how to fix it, I tried adding import flash.events.*; to the first frame's code, which resolved the Error 1046, but then caused Error 1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference pointing to line 29 of the class file which states container.addChild(btn); - the last item in the class file below.Each set of code works fine by itself, but when used together causes a problem. Can someone assist with what I need to change? I suppose there is some sort of conflict with the MouseEvents?
Code on the first frame:
ActionScript Code: stop(); //tried adding import flash.events.*; but it caused Error 1046 I_acknowledge_btn.visible = false;[code].....
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.
there I have a problem with this error #1009!I am making a platform game and I can not fix some bugs.When I use the debugger it says:"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at PlatformGame/checkCollisions()[D:gamePlatformGame.as:2445]at PlatformGame/gameLoop()[D:gamePlatformGame.as:951]".On line 2445 in the function checkCollisions() in my as3 file is the following code:

I just started learning ActionScript 3.0/Flash CS5 a day or two ago, and I am still very early on with it, however I do have some other web development experience with PHP and some Javascript. I am learning from a book that was written for Flash CS4, but it did not seem like a whole bunch was different. I am now getting "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Main()"
I did several searches for the problem here, but most of the threads referencing this error are far more complex than what I am trying to do, involving multiple, long class files and the timeline. I have been unable to solve my problem after reading through various threads for hours now. Most of the fixes had to do with the timeline, however, all of my GUI is in one frame with no animation.
However I been coming up with an error which is this :
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Corestructure_Scene1_fla::MainTimeline/movingPlayer()[Corestructure_S cene1_fla.MainTimeline::frame4:83]
What is wrong with this snippet of code? It gives me a #1009 error. How do I make it so that event listener will work with this child? This is all on the first frame. I want it to stay in the first frame (I don't like using external stuff with packages)
i keep getting this error, and when i play my game when u punch or use the fist the grannys stop moving, and disapeer after the first punch when i just walk up to them without even having to punch.and then all the 1009 errors start flying for my checkFront() and grannyMove()ill post all the methods involving the problem
Code: public function grandmaSpawn(event:Event):void { if(spawn == 1){ for (var i:int = 0; i<=4; i++){
I'm figuring out a way to reload my entire SWF file from only AS3. I'm using the URLLoader and URLRequest method. When I run the SWF and execute the code, error 1009 keeps popping up
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Projectile3()[D:OliphantProjectileSimulation3Projectile3.as:1 07]
From the error, line 107 in Projectile3.as is causing the error. The line is: var fps:int = stage.frameRate
I need to reload my flash file because as I simulate the projectile path, I also create a sprite that draw the trail of the path. I tried to remove the path using removeChild(trail) but as soon as I addChild(trail), the previous trail appears. The only way to completely remove the trail is by reloading the movie.
