ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip Making Itself Null?
Oct 4, 2009I have a movieclip with a class attached to it, so obviously i can acces it with commands of the kind this.* What i want to do, is delete the movieclip after some time (it's a bullet from a tank and I want it to be gone after explosion).

Mar 27, 2010My movieclips are being nulled when moving between scenes, they are created on the stage and accessed through as3. I have login screen with three button, one logout, one exits the system and the other takes them to the next scene. When going back to the login scene, and trying to access movieclips like add eventlisterners etc... it comes back with null object reference, claiming that my buttons which are on the stage are null and sure enough if I debug they are. Any reason why my movieclips are being made null when moving between scenes?

Jul 26, 2010after strolling through the internet looking for garbage collecting of dynamic movieclips i conceded and justified to myself i should make a forum post.I'm making a small game, with many many explosions. Explosions are random swfs which i cache before using them. Problem is that although i did everything to make them ready for garbage collecting, they seem to overflow the memory.my code:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
the last line, 'e.target.parent=null ', is the way i know how to make movieclips ready for garbage collecting. But if i uncomment the line, I get this error:
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1074: Illegal write to read-only property parent on example03_fla.MainTimeline.
at Explosions/::doneHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/
example03_fla is the timeline of the supposed movieclip i'm trying to delete, not the document fla.
AS3 :: Android - MovieClip Keeps Giving Me A NULL Object Reference
Dec 3, 2011I have a Android Air application, where I import a png image to the stage on frame two and converted it to a symbol as a movieclip. I am performing a hovering animation using this image as a movieclip and it works great but when I go from frame 2, where the animation is, and I move to frame 3, 4, 5, or 6, and then I move back to frame 2, my application throws a errors when referencing the movieclip again. The error is 1009 cannot access null object reference. So to me it seems that once the timeline moves away from frame 2 it wipes away the reference to the imported image converted to a movieclip....is this correct? Is there a way I can keep the timeline referencing the this image as a movieclip so I can always come back to this frame?

Actionscript 3 :: Loading Swf As Custom Class That Extends MovieClip - Getting Null Object Reference
Aug 16, 2011I followed the example from a previous question and I am loading an external swf using a loader and inside the loader event handler I am trying to cast the loader.content as my custom class PanelReferenceClip which extends MovieClip
When I publish I receive a this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Just to make sure and test that the swf location was correct and the swf was actually being loaded, I changed the type of the content to as MovieClip and it worked fine.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that these swfs are being stored locally and not being pulled across the internet, multiple networks or servers.
I am not sure if I did something quirky in my class so I am providing the source to my custom class PanelReferenceClip
package com.components
{
import com.UI.DevicePanel;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Slider To Control Frames In A Movieclip Error 1009: "Cannot Access A Property Or Method Of A Null Object Reference"
Oct 27, 2010I am using this method to create a slider to control frames in a movie clip.

The slider works well when I'm in the scene that contains the slider. When I go to a scene that does not include the slider, I get the following output error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. How can I stop the stage.add.EventListener when I navigate to other scenes that don't include the slider. This is my first as3 project. The project functions as it should but I don't know if the output error will cause problems later.
Actionscript :: MovieClip Replacement That Converts An Existing Imported MovieClip To A Sequence Of BitmapData
Jun 22, 2011I've written a simple MovieClip replacement that converts an existing imported MovieClip to a sequence of BitmapData. This removes the requirement for Flash to render vector data in the MovieClip on each frame.
But BitmapData has a huge memory footprint. I've tried converting the BitmapData to a ByteArray and using the compress() method. This results in a significantly smaller memory footprint. But it has proven impractical. For each redraw, I tried uncompressing()'ing the ByteArray, then using SetPixels to blit the data to the screen, then re-compressing() the frame. This works but is terribly slow.
So I was wondering if anybody else has an approach I could try. In Flash, is it possible to compress bitmap data in memory and quickly blit it to the screen?
I wonder how native animated GIFs work in Flash. Does it uncompress them to BitmapData behind the scenes, or is frame decompression done on the fly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A New Movieclip For Each Top-level XML Node And Include In The Movieclip Two Separate Textfields?
Jun 4, 2009My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

Actionscript 3 :: Move Movieclip Position Opposite Of Mouse Coords On Other Movieclip
Jan 26, 2011Okay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.
I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.
