ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting This Error #1009 Message : Cannot Access A Property Or Method Of A Null Object Reference ?
Aug 3, 2009
how to use actionscript 3.0 and my copy of flash CS4 to create games. I wrote my code exactly like it showed in the tutorial, but for some reason I will occasionally receive an error that says
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Monster/die() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at fl.motion::AnimatorBase/end() at fl.motion::AnimatorBase/handleLastFrame() at fl.motion::AnimatorBase/nextFrame() at fl.motion::AnimatorBase/handleEnterFrame()"
It doesn't happen all the time but it will every once in a while. There doesn't really seem to be anything specifically that triggers it either. I also happened to notice that not all of the enemies respond to being clicked on. I don't know if these two things are related or not. I don't know if the error is caused by the code for the monster library item or the code for the main timeline. This is my code for the monster library item:
import fl.motion.Animator;import fl.motion.MotionEvent;var this_xml:XML = <Motion duration="30" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*"> <source> <Source frameRate="10" x="275" y="200" scaleX="1" scaleY="1" [code]....

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is the error I cannot seem to understand. On the stage I have a movie clip, mcTree. It's keyframe is in frame 3143. There is no tween or anything. In frame 3144, I have the following actionscript:
mcTree.gotoAndStop(2);
I publish the movie and I get to frame 3144 then BAM TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at 2file_fla::MainTimeline/frame3144()
As you can tell, I'm more than 3000 frames into my animation here and have made it this far using this method, and it has worked.

I have this preloader code on frame 1 in my MAIN swf file with the content on frame 2
Actionscript Code:
stop(); //Import the required assetsimport flash.display.*;//Stop the playhead while loading occursthis.stop();//Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loadsthis.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);/*This is the main function,
[code]....
Also an external swf file is loaded using the same code on frame 1 in its main timeline this works when I test local but it outputs an error....
at welcome_fla::MainTimeline/PL_LOADING()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at welcome_fla::MainTimeline/PL_LOADING()
On line this prevents it from working at all.Basically I need each external content to have its own preloader for its content.If you go to my site you will see it works on the intital load but when you hit the home button it fails [URL]

Thats the error messege 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(){

I have a movie clip that starts lets say @ frame10 and ends @ frame20 I have a button to toggle the visibility of that movie clip on/off even if the movie clip is not currently displayed on the stage. The reason I am getting Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference is because my movie clip (as I read from previous posts) has not been instantiated yet.
I have over 50 movie clips like this one (to act as labels, as i scroll through the timeline the labels appear and disappear to follow an anatomical structure on series of images). Is there an easy way to instantiate all of those movie clips although they start and end at different points on the timeline? I got a headache from finding a solution for this.

This seems weird. My code worked in the original FLA (using AS3) but when I 'Save As' as a new doc,
It gives me a compiling error below:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at flash_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Does it have to do with path to the Library? Is there a way to reset this within Flash or do I have to copy and paste the code to a totally new AS3 file?

I am creating a little mini site for the web. The buttons within the movie work fine but when I create a button from a graphic, and try to tell this to link to an external website and open in a new window I am getting : Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference, in the Output and when I click on the button nothing happens. I have found lots on the web about this error but nothing that i can understand enough to fix the problem. I just want to make a button from a graphic and link to somewhere - the code I am using for the buttons is:
vim_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vim);function vim(event:MouseEvent){navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.vimeo.com/"));}
I have this code attached to a key frame .....what does this error mean and why can't I do this seemingly simple thing?

I ve got a very simple combobox, 3 data items and an event handler. The catch is that the combobox is in an external swf loaded into the main swf through the loader class (worked fine in CS3 & CS4). Heres the only AS3 code for the box:
[code]...
The symptoms are as follows: When used in an external swf the combobox does not show index 0 (it blank) and when clicked throws the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.[code]....
When the external swf is run independently the box mostly functions, it does not throw an error and properly calls the event listener, however, it does not show the default selected index and when the combobox is changed it does not keep the current selection visible.This worked perfectly in CS4 & CS3, theres really nothing complicated about it. I have entirely deleted the old CS components and replaced them with brand new CS5 components,

I have TextField instance called inputWord which contains no text on the first frame. On the same frame, on the actions layer, any time when I refer to inputWord in any way, there is an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at DC/frame1()[DC::frame1:19] //DC is the name of document class that I created.at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at DC()[C:Users
ikkkaDesktopflashDC.as:25]
19 is the number of line where my code that involves inputWord is located. It works, I mean I write
inputWord.text = "smth"
it text becomes "smth" but there is the same error. Why?

I've been stuck with such an error for 2 days now, and however I search on solving this from the number of previous questions asked about this error, I still can't seem to get it to work, mainly because I don't understand it at all.Every time I enter the door with a hittest to the next scene, the error goes: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at gallerycopy_fla::MainTimeline/collision()The code's pretty long so I'm just gonna put the FLA (CS5) file

I have a very simple preloader file which loads a "main.swf" file. I put on stage a LogoCompany (MovieClip), a Mask (MovieClip) and a Text (Dynamic).As the percentage of bytes from the .swf file increases, the Mask.x position is increased so the LogoCompany appears.
Here is the code:
