ActionScript 3.0 :: Get An Error Saying MovieClip Is Not A Function?
Oct 22, 2010
How I wish there was a book written in layman's terms for AS3 I have great dictionary for AS2 wish there was an AS3 equivalent.I know that _root is dead in AS3.I have a movieClip called "mcClimber" which is inside a movieClip called "mcMountain04". The climber mountain clip has a bone tween of a guy doing a climbing motion.When it hits frame 40 in mcClimber, I want it to tell mcMountain04 to go to the nextFrame.That's all.Why is this so difficult in AS3?I've looked at the online Adobe literature and it's so poorly written for laymen my eyes glaze over and I end up looking elsewhere.
I have tried this: MovieClip(parent).mcMountain04.nextFrame(); But I get an error saying MovieClip is not a function.
#1006: value is not a function. at MethodInfo-43() I don't know what the problem is, or where could it be, here is the problem code, but first a brief description: Every 3 seconds 3 enemies will be created with a random position, the enemies can't be appearing on top of the other so I check if they collide with any previously added enemies, if they do I assign other random coordinates and check again until there is no collision (I'm using the collision detection kit CDK for the collisions[URL]..the first 3 enemies appear correctly but afterwards the error appears and the next time the program enters the generation part the enemies begin appearing in ridiculous numbers.
I searched the forums for the error, but the methods they used couldn't help my program, it's an Actionsctipt file in AS3 with CS4.
I am receiving error 1158: Syntax error: missing left brace ({) before the function body.Source: public function DirectBlock (e:Event) extends MovieClip :void{ //DirectBlock[code].....
when pressing on a button that error comes up in the OUTPUT tabthe file is in the linkError #1006.rarThis is the navigation_actions code where are the codes of the navigation bar (the buttons)
var buttonArray:Array = new Array( ); var currentButton:Object = new Object; var navContainer:Sprite=new Sprite ;
Within my movieclip WinLose I'm getting an error for a movieclip on stage called mcRestart. When it's pressed it's suppose to trigger function Restart. But for some reason, it's giving me the: "TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@4f4ff99 to flash.display.MovieClip. at WinLose/frame1()"

codes i used:
Code: var thereReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SOUNDS/how.mp3"); var there:Sound = new Sound(); var thereControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:
I have got two movieclips on the main timeline. First one is envelope_mc and second is bg_main. In envelope_mc timeline there is a button on 25th frame which plays ahead when clicked. Here's the code for first movieclip:

I have a movieClip called "mcUnitedStates" inside another mother movieClip.
I have two instances of the mother movieClip. One entitled "mcWorldMapTop" on its own layer and the other entitled "mcWorldMapBottom" on its own layer.
I thought having two instances of the same movieClip and applying different filters to the mcUnitedStates movieClip in each.
Error I get is: Access of unidentified property mcWorldMapBottom
I'm doing this because the colorTransform is making the glow the same color as the colorTransform instead of the color I want the glow to be.
I am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts
I am trying to access the variable myParentVariable within the function myParentFunction() from the MovieClip's myMovieClip_mc function myMovieClipFunction().
I know that It works if I declare the variable myParentVariable outside of the myParentFunction() but I don't really want to do that
main timeline //-------------------------------------------------------------------- --- myParentFunction(); function myParentFunction():void
ok now i have a variable "URL" [URL] (or something like that - it works anyway) and a search box replaces the url and places it in the url as appropriate Error opening URL "[URL]" now if someone types "hello" and submit, it looks for "[URL]" but if the image isnt in the folder it will come up as Error opening URL "[URL] in the OUTPUT box now is their any way at all to say in the actionscript (the image searched wasnt in our database please try again) i know its a default message flash comes up with but is their a quick way to use this default error to make an "error movieclip" visible?
hey im trying to make a mp3 player and when u click on a play btn it plays that song. but i keep getting this output error "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. at slide_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()" this is my code
ActionScript Code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; var slidebind:Rectangle = new Rectangle(3, 3, 159, 0); var loadsnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("s1.mp3"); var thissnd:Sound = new Sound();
After renaming the 'alexrindo' folder in the project and changing all of the import references, etc. in the class files accordingly, when I try to compile in the Flash IDE I get the following message:
TypeError: Error #1006: resizeElements is not a function. at com.wooden.flashview::Flashview/createLayout() at com.wooden.flashview::Flashview()
I have a real headscratcher, I am getting the following error:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at touchscreen::MapConnectionSuccess() at touchscreen::MapTemp() at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren() at flash.display::Sprite() at flash.display::MovieClip()
This seems to be relating to where I am passing in parameters to a new instance of a class highlighted below. I have done this so many times without problem. The class is setup to receive a displayobject and a movieclip. The first object passed is an instance of the Umap component, but tried just passing two simple movieclips and still got the error.
I'm working on the animation that plays 4 video clips depending on which button is pressed. After each movie is done playing, 3 buttons appear:
Replay, Close and More info My question is, how do i target the correct button, or, how do I tell the button which movie just got done playing, so it can play it again..
I tried using: event.target.name.PlayVideo. however I get an error: 1006 value is not a function.
I read online, and I understand kinda what the error is stating. Though, I can't find out why.So basically what I understand is that I am calling a function that is not a function?ere is the error and code portions that are required.Quote:TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.at VideoPlayer_fla::MainTimeline/startVideoPlayer()at VideoPlayer_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I have an array of integers called indArray and a function called addCommas where the array is cycled through and commas are added to the thousands i.e. 9,000 instead of 9000.
Now, this works perfectly fine, however, I try calling addCommas on a different variable and it gives me this error.
Here is my code:
var string = personData[personID - 1]; var indArray = string.split("|"); var targetTotal = int(indArray[0]) + int(indArray[2]) + int(indArray[4]) + int(indArray[6]);
I want to log all error messages and call stacks of my application if it causes errors after I released the application to the web site. I will save the logs on files on the web server.In debug player Error.message contains a detailed error message and Error.getStackTrace() returns call stack:
message: Error #1006: cccc is not a function. stack trace: TypeError: Error #1006: cccc is not a function. at f()[/source/Main.as:38]
But in normal player which users of my application use, Error.message contains only error code and Error.getStackTrace() returns null:
message: Error #1006 stack trace: null
In other web application written with languages like javascript, PHP or ruby, I always log errors or stack trace.But in actionscript or flash application, can't I know where and why errors occur after releasing it?Is it normal to save logs of errors in released flash applications?
I think maybe I need to import something else? because I am getting the following error.TypeError: Error #1006: addChild is not a function.at Function/<anonymous>
Im getting the duplicate function error and I cant seem to get around it.
On one frame.
Code: stop(); var myServiceUser = new NetConnection(); myServiceUser.connect("http://localhost.com/amfphp/gateway.php"); var responder = new Responder(getUsers_Result, onFault);
I'm getting this error:"TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.at site_fla::MainTimeline/azulejo_click()[site_fla.MainTimeline::frame2: 91]Debug session terminated."I'll try to explane what i'm trying to do, but my english sucks so...I've 8 holders to put 8 images that I load from a XML file, my holders are: mcp_holder0, 1, 2,4... 7.To do this I'm using this code:

"256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie."Why do I get this error (above) when I use the code (below)? Why isn't this acceptable? [I use function similar to this in Javascript with no problem.][code]
I'm working on writing an application that searches through xml data using a kind of "advanced" search. Users can filter data based on combobox data.Here is my xml:
It pretty much searches through the attributes, and also filters through some. The theory is that in my combo boxes, I also have a choice with blank data, so that way if they choose that it will not filter, because every string has an index of "". I have a few questions: Also, I keep getting this error:
Code: TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at testfile2NEW_fla::MainTimeline/searchPopulate() at testfile2NEW_fla::MainTimeline/searchPopulateHandler()[code].....
Here is another thread I posted on a similar issue to this: http:[url]....I load my images into a TileList component as well. The xml is already loaded into my movie fine, and the images load fine into the TileList component, but my concern is making the Search feature accurate.
