ActionScript 3.0 :: TypeError #1009, But Only When Changing Scenes?
Oct 11, 2010
I have a feeling this is a stupid thing that I'm either overlooking or ignorant of,I have a simple Flash piece that is two scenes -- Intro and Body.Intro plays fine, but when the timeline enters the final frame of the scene it is supposed to go directly into the Body scene. Here is the AS I placed in the final frame of the Intro scene:
stop();
this.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, EnterFrame);
function EnterFrame (event:Event):void
I'm making my first flash website (or trying to anyway). I need to get it finished and live ASAP. (I've been just fumbling around since I really don't know Flash CS3 or ActionScript 3 very well.) I'm getting these TypeErrors while testing; can someone please tell me what they mean and how I can fix them? If I can avoid classes, I'd like to--I haven't the slightest idea yet how they work.
I've searched the 'net and searched these forums but can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm creating a flash based game for school that so far has ten frames on the timeline. I have buttons on frame one, frame 5, and frame 10. I have actionscript code to control those buttons on frame 1, frame 5, and frame 10 respectively. The code is worded identically on each frame with the exception that I've changed the button names and the function names that are called when the mouse button is pressed. The code works fine on frame 1 and on frame 5, but when I click the button on frame 5 that sends me to frame 10, I get this error immediately:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at keys2BibleTest_fla::MainTimeline/frame10() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at
Ive got a simple button that takes the user back to the main menu. the scrip for the button is:
stop();back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);function goHome(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("front_page");} however when i test the file I reveive an output error along the lines of:
I am developing a Jigsaw puzzle in Flash. I am developing a class for puzzle piece. The code of the PuzzlePiece class in given as follows. [code]...Is it wrong to access it like that. The PuzzlePiece is the export for a puzzle clip. For the time being I am hard coding the dimension as 60. I have aloso uploaded the fla and as files.
Anyhow, I've received the following error: Code: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.transitions::Tween/setPosition() at fl.transitions::Tween/set position() at fl.transitions::Tween() at index_fla::MainTimeline/frame31() [Code] .....
I'm trying to built a flash web page, where I've placed tween effect in each page within the ActionScript. The error occurs on a the page (a movieclip) contains another movieclip. This is the code for that specific section, where bookworkone, bookworktwo and bookworkthree are buttons that would initiate "popup (movieclips)" gallery window that display images. menu--> bookwork --> popup windows (galleries)
Code: var bookworkTween:Tween=new Tween(bookwork_mc,"alpha",Regular.easeOut,.8,1,.25,true);
I keep getting this message as an error:"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."What im trying to do is make a button, that when clicked on, takes you to the main timeline, frame 3.so above my button i have this in the Actions:
stop(); page1turn_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onDispatch);function onDispatch(evt:MouseEvent):void{dispatchEvent(new Event ("back to the root", true));}
I am having a problem loading a swf into a movieclip inside another swf. I keep getting this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at contact_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
after googling the error, I have come to suspect that I am trying to load the swf before the stage is ready for it. Although, I load another swf and it loads fine. How can I verify which part of my movie is causing the problem?
I don't know why this is not working. I have a short quiz where in step one, the user clicks a button that populates text in a dynamic textbox. Then in step two, they do the exact same thing again.I've done research that suggests I'm getting this error because something is not loaded or something is not on the stage, but all of the items are on the stage and I'm not loading anything externally. I've narrowed it down to my first set of event listeners, but they all look normal to me.Here's the code (forgive the mess, there's probably an easier way to acheive what I'm trying to do, but I'm not versed enough to do it) and the fla:
Code: stop(); var firstak1:String = "The conference is in Detroit"; var secondak1:String = " please let me know if you have any questions."; var secondbk1:String = " I can easily drive to it."; var secondck1:String = " the cost could be as low as $250 if we register by tomorrow.";
I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3.0, and I'm having some trouble with this error. I'm currently setting up a small Space Shooter game and am stuck at this error. All was working fine until I started to code the movement class.Error:
Code: GameScreen TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I have a 5 page site made so far. On one of the pages I have a subpage and on this subpage is a video. The code I am trying to write is to stop this video playing whenever any of the other page links are clicked on the top.
The code I am using is:
Code: home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopVideoSound); function stopVideoSound(event:MouseEvent):void { videoClip.volume = 0 }
videoClip is the instance name I have given my video and home is just one of the page links. I haven't written the others in yet. When I preview this though I keep getting this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at assignmentinwork_fla::MainTimeline/stopVideoSound()
'assignmentinwork_fla' is the file name but I can't seem to work out what the rest means or how I would fix this so the video stops when teh subpage is clicked out of.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at vipTableGames_fla::MainTimeline/frame2() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay() at vipTableGames_fla::MainTimeline/finalRoundScreenChange()
if I comment out the "this.gotoAndPlay(2);" it does nothing obviously but no errors are thrown either.
i'm getting the above error, Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.and cant figure out why I'm getting it. I'm getting it in the last line of the following function:
[Code]...
when I trace the (_bigTurrShot._missile.bitmap) I get [object bitmap] so it's not coming up as null when it is traced. Everything seems to be correct in the other code I have for it,
I'm working on a Flash CS4 presentation which has a menu page as well as a navigation bar (with a timer)that appears for 5 seconds and then disappears until the user moves the mouse again. The play and stop buttons are working fine but when I click on the menu button it takes me back to the menu page but then I get this Flash error message:

I have been coding my flash movie/website and everything was working fine until I added a preloader on frame one, moved frame "home" over one frame to frame2. PaulJamesWilliams is the name of the file that I am editing. what do I do?

This one should be easy to explain because I'm sure a lot ofyou have noticed it. Just create a Scene 2 and put any component(EDIT: Try FLVPlayback since removing and re-adding the othercomponents seemed to work for me) on the stage and compile.

I thought it had to do with not having aaddEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage); but once I narrowed it down to the issue with Scenes and Components I figured
Every time I put this at the beginning of my constructor: stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALEit gives me the error

I have started creating, my first website and have figured a couple of small problems out myself, but I do not know what this means,
The error I am getting is: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at christopeach_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[christopeach_fla.MainTimeline ::frame1:33]
I have a tree and I can arrange the nodes inside using drag and drop and my programs throws the null pointer exception. When I see the trace the error is actually in the core library and not on my code. do anyone know the meaning of this?
I've made preloaders in the past, but now I'm getting this error, and I don't know what is exactly the problem. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at com.mugui::Footer().If I erase all references of the footer from my Main Class the flash works normal. So the problem comes from my footer, but why?.My main class:
