I am trying to load the movie clips in my library one by one, using a for look and tween them but it seems as i am getting an error Stuff in my Library

Basically I'm trying to create a class that I can call and centralise any mc on stage by eg.stageConfig.centralisedDO(my_mc), However I encounter the above error.
I have a site with ScrollPanes, that are calling a Class on what to display. (so the movieclip that I want displayed in the ScrollPane has a Class name.) Within that movieclip (webScroll) that is being displayed in the scrollpane, I have 2 other movieclips (web1 & web2), with unique instance names and eventlisteners targeting those instances. when I preview my site, i get this error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property web2 through a reference with static type Class.
View 1 RepliesBasically I have 2 classes, A and B. B derives from A. Inside A, I declare a static variable/constant to the class of B. When I run the program, I get a null object reference error, with the line pointing to the class declaration of B, i.e.
Code:
public class B extends A
For reference, these are the 2 classes:
Code:
package
{
public class A
{
[code]...
Also, this error only occurs when the variable is static. If it's just a normal variable it works fine, i.e.
Code:
private var OTHER:Class = B;
If I change the static variable to point to a different class, it's also fine, i.e.
Code:
private static var OTHER:Class = Main;
I can probably work around this, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass. Anybody know what's causing it, or is this a Flash bug?
I had created a loader which can load an array of images. However, when there are more images, the images actually got hidden as the size of the application is too small to accommodate all the images. I would need to create a scroll bar. I tried creating a
scroll bar but there were errors faced saying that "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.". I am not really sure on how to do it,
I'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?
Been trying to make the transition from AS 2 to 3 but not without it's speed bumps. My first major hurdle has been trying to dynamically reference a class by only knowing it's name. I came across the code of import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName; but that's not working for some reason. It keeps giving me the error:
Quote:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable characterType5 is not defined.
My code in getting this is:
PHP Code:
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
var className:String = "characterType" + 5;
var tempClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as Class;
var char = new tempClass();
classes. GiftMain and GiftItem. i attached GiftItem objects into GiftMain. Actually there are 2 more movieclips between them. i declare a variable in GiftItem as giftMain to reference it to the GiftMain. i have a function in GiftItem which is as below;
[Code]...
trace outputs the right object in this function in GiftItem class but at another place in the same class, it outputs undefined when it is traced even though it is global variable. I just want to reach GiftMain from GiftItem without using _parent or _root. How can i do that?
Is there a good way to dynamically reference a class that is created inside of another class?
Say, for instance, I have a main class called "Country", and from that class, I am creating individual "State" classes. So the Country class is creating State classes named "Texas", "Ohio", and "Iowa". And each State class has a value called Capital. [code]...
am trying to get a movieclip in one class to stay at the same x and y value of a movieclip in another class. the arm is meant to stay on the player's mc in armClass.as .here is the code.

I'm adding many custom classes on stage using the object.registerclass trick. Those classes all implement the same interface so I can call common functions for all of them. My problem is that I have many of those custom classes for which I keep a reference in the class where I'm attaching them to the stage with attachmovie. So, in this parent class, if I do a for in loop like this:

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.

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 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 new to flash, as3 and this forum so any help would be great!I've made an xml gallery, all the movieclips and everything have been created dynamically and the images are being loaded through an xml file. Except two buttons which are in the library and have the linkage names next_btn and prev_btn.
Now what I want to do is, I have 3 categories of galleries, so I want to convert my script into a class which I can use for every type of gallery. (I hope I'm being clear)When the user clicks on gallery, a the function startGallery() is called.
I need to know how to go about it I'm pretty much clueless, I've read a WHOLE LOT of tutorials about classes but I really can't understand how to do this.

I'm loading a bunch of SWFs at the same time. I'm using a custom class to do the loading. Most of the time they all load OK, however occasionally one or two will be unloaded (I can see that in the console) before we get to the Event.COMPLETE. The ProgressEvents are all fine - I can see them loading, but then boom - they're unloaded.
I've done a bit of digging around and discovered that this may be a bug in the Loader class where if you are using multiple instances of the class then sometimes one or more will be Garbage Collected before they finish loading and are therefore unloaded. I've tried keeping a reference to the loader and the classes holding the loaders and I'm still having the problem. The solution is to queue the loads and load each swf in order which isn't a problem, just a bit irritating.
Short explanation:->>>So. I have an xml with this:
[CODE]<apps>
<cls id="1" name="CustomClass01"/>
<cls id="..." name="..."/>

I'm new to AS3. Learning how to create classes. Is comp = new HouseObjects creating a new class? Is comp creating an instance of the HouseObjects? I realize that this is inside public class TreeHouse. I'm thinking that HouseObjects, how I set it up is not a class...not sure what the correct way to set up classes and properties.
Also I noticed, that when I tried to link another movieclip using the same linkage name HouseObjects--it asked to enter a unique class. I'm trying to create multiple instances from the same class called HouseObjects.

I know this is possible because I've seen it done somewhere or other but I have no idea what it is called. Quite simply, I want to create some dynamic classes without having external .as files for each one - I just want to declare them inside a function in my doc class.
View 4 RepliesI am attempting to use multiple AS3 timers to run a short animation in flash but I'm having a problem with some of the instances running slowly or not being removed when they are supposed to. I found a way to make things work the way I want but in being new to AS3 I believe my runtime issues are due to jumbled code.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var playerFadeTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 2, true);
var playerXTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "x", Strong.easeOut, 292, 10, 2, true);

I've always wrote all my code into the .fla and now I'm trying to use classes more. I have my file loading the document class. Then the document class imports two additional classes. In my constructor of the document class I am creating a new instance of both additional classes. Here is my doc class:
[Code]...
Now inside of the other two classes I should be able to just use main_class.myFunc(); Correct? Why isn't is working? How can I interact classes? If I create a new instance to the class I want to access then I get a stack over flow error. Inside remoting class in the constructor my code; main_class = new CheckoutMain(); main_class.myFunc();

I'm making a game which loads map .swfs at runtime. The maps will contain graphics and code, which can both vary from map to map. I've decided to make all the maps implement an interface, so they can all be used in the same way by the game. I'm using a .swc to contain the interface, like in this page.
I can get classes to work in the .swc, but not interfaces!
I'm using Flash cs5, and flashdevelop for editing, in AS3. Here's how I've been doing it:

I am starting to create classes instead of using the timeline and I am learning a lot more even if mistakes happen more often. However I have a question about linkage & library. For example let say that I have a ball pic called Ball1.mpg. I copy and past that Ball1.mpg in my folder where the Fla file is as well as the as file. If I want to utilize this Ball1.mpg in my code using Flash do I absolutely need to import into my library and link it and export using linkage? Or can I use the object Ball.1mpg just using actionscript. Of course that implies that I would use an actionscript class not the timeline.
View 1 RepliesI've been trying out small snippets of code just to practice with and get comfortable with making classes and small games.Right now I am trying to make a simple combat with Orks. Where there is a Parent Class ORK with several ORK children classes like SentryOrk, MetalOrk, etc.
The Ork class basically puts in the many stats used by the ork such as health, strength, vitality, special, luck, etc. And then the children classes modify those like Sentry Ork will have less health and more luck.I did all that fine, but the problem I have is I want there to be multiple Sentry Orks out with their own defined stats.Right now whenever I do initiate the attack one out of three orks on the screen, they all share the same health.I know what the problem is, I just don't know how to go about dynamically making each class their own?Do I have to make a whole other class to bring them onto the stage with their stats like create a new class that handles all ENEMY POP UPS? I don't see how to do that either?:

View 1 RepliesI have created a file called Config.as, in it are getter and setter methods that define variables that I need to reference throughout my system.
I have obviously made a mistake as I tried to access a variable in two files as indicated in a demo below:
Code:
package {
import Config;
public class TestOne {
[Code].....
It seems quite clear to me that I have created two instance of the Config class and that is why in class TestTwo the trace statement doesn't return "hello world". Is there a common coding practice to access the same variable with multiple classes?
I have a designer who has created a set of movie clips that I want to create instances of using ActionScript, but all I have is the name of the MovieClip as it's stated in the library (not the instance name).
Is there any way to create instances of the MovieClips using just their name? Or do I have to create separate classes for each?
