ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Blank SWF With Document Class - Stage Is Null
Apr 22, 2009
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at QuizApp/createStatusBox()
at QuizApp()
That's the error message 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..
Code:
package{
public class QuizApp extends Sprite{
public function QuizApp(){
createButtons();
private function createButtons() {
if (this.stage == null) {
trace("STAGE IS NULL!!!");
} var yPosition:Number;
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStage);
...

In my document class named Engine, the stage variable is for some reason null:
package game
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
This was working fine up until now. I just recently added two dynamic text fields into a symbol, and all of a sudden the stage is null. I really don't see the connection.

I keep on getting "cannot access property of a null object" errors. With the debugger I pinpointed my issue at the line where I write stage.stageWidth.So somehow the stage is null. This is within my Document class which is linked with the .fla. The strange part is that I haven't had this problem until just recently.

I am trying to code a flash app entirely in the document class. I am using GestureWorks with a touch screen. When a user essentially presses a button it calls a method that should hide a specific graphic but not the graphic they touched.
Essentially I need a way to refer to a graphic on the screen using a method besides 'e.target'.
I am receiving this error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
[Code]...
It can access photo1Sprite as 'e.target' when the button click happens on the photo1Sprite. The problem happens when to click one button (not photo1Sprite) and have it effect photo1Sprite. So I can make photo1Sprite react if my method is attached to it directly using 'e.target' but not if I am trying to call it from a method that was called from another element on the screen.

How to access a display object on the stage in a class which is not a document class?
I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve passing the stage as a parameter to the class.
One solution i always come across is using "TopLevel.as". Is it a good method because as far as I have heard using global variables is not recommended because it might cause some problems while working on big projects.

Is there a way to refer to a Movieclip on the stage from a class file of the document class
Lets say I have 3 MovieClips on the stage(a Circle, a Square and a Triangle)
I have the document class which calls another class that controls the MC on the stage
Example
ActionScript Code:
package {
public class Example extends Sprite {
//Create the instance of the class being called

myXML:XML = new XML(loadXML.loadXMLFile("gallery.xml"));[code].....

I have a Document Class called Main.as. I tested that it works using a simple trace statement and that outputs fine. I instantiated a Button control and tried to add it to the stage but I keep getting the error thrown below. The code for Main.as is simple and at the end of this thread. I tried all different ways to add the Button to the stage but couldn't figure it out.[code]...

I am attempting to understand the document class. I have the following code in my current document class in an attempt to set up my stage.I did regarding classes and linking them directly to Library assets, but just as I told him-- I am throwing my pride to the side to try and understand and breaking down to ask the dumb questions.here's the code:
Code:
package site.src
{
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]...
Why would this throw up the error: "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event." referencing the line in the code: "function setStage ( e:Event = null )"?

I have a movie which is placed on the stage in the authoring environment, this movie is called LiftMovie. When the user clicks on a button in LiftMovie, it loads another movie into a placeholder called MallPlaceHolder and the LiftMovie has its visibility set to false.From the document class of the movie loaded into MallPlaceHolder, if the user clicks on the image of the Lift in the mall, I want it to make the LiftMovie visible again.

I'm trying to manipulate (in this particular case add eventListeners) objects (in this case some MovieClips) on the stage from a class that isn't the document class.
1120: Access of undefined property trans.
Now I know that it's probably a scope thing and I probably can't access stage objects directly from a non document class (as I'm doing in the code below) but I can't figure out how to access them properly.
Anyway, here's the deal:
I've got 3 dynamic text fields (called "NL", "FR" and "EN") on my stage in a movieclip called "trans". I'm trying to add eventlisteners in a second class to make them do something when clicked on.
Here's my document class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
// Import custom classes.
[Code].....

I am trying to add a keyboard event listener to the stage, to detect when a user clicks the left or right arrow keys. But this listener is called from inside a class file which is imported into the document class, therefore I think it doesn't know what "stage" refers to. How do I solve this?

How do you access the stage from a function in a document class file? I tried a fairly simple:
ActionScript Code:
var main:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(main)
var _stage:Stage = main.stage;
trace(_stage);
The result was null.

Is there a way I can load a swf file but not automatically instantiate it's DocumentClass? Instead I want to do something like the following:
protected function mainLoaded(e:Event = null):void {
trace('mainLoaded');
var main:* = this.mainLoad.createClassByName('Main');
trace(main);
}
Where mainLoad is an instance of CasaLib's SwfLoad and createClassByName is the equivalent to
loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition();
The thing is that when my swf finishes loading I can see it is created, because of some trace calls, although its obviously not added to the display list.

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at oxylus.rotator::Main()oxylus.rotator.Main is my document class for the gallery.swf that is being loaded into another flash movie.I don't get why it would cause errors as its a compiled swf and should not have references to that class.

It does not matter where I declare the var __w:Who in the constructor, as a class var or in another function entirely. The whole thing still operates normally but it's irritating not being able to set my stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; in the constructor.... I am guessing it is something in my Who class because it does not happen if I declare any other vars the constructor in Who pretty basic:
