I have created a image gallery. it uses a document class and several supporting classes. It works great. I need to load that swf gallery.swf into a another movie. When I try to do this I get this error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at oxylus.rotator::Main()oxylus.rotator.Main is my document class for the gallery.swf that is being loaded into another flash movie.I don't get why it would cause errors as its a compiled swf and should not have references to that class.

I have a question, I wrote the following test as a class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.FrameLabel;
public class FrameLabels extends MovieClip {
public function FrameLabels () {
[Code] .....
This works great in a document class, however, when I put it on frame 1 of my timeline, it crashes Flash. I have a stop action on the last frame so the playhead shouldn't be running the script over and over, is there any reason that this is crashing?
Timeline code:
var labelsList:Array = currentLabels;
for (var i:int = 0; i < currentLabels.length; i++) {
if (currentLabels[i].name == "monday") {
addFrameScript (currentLabels[i].frame-1, mondayHandler

I found myself loading a new XML file every day and so decided to create a small class that will load the xml file and return it.The class is loading the file but when i try to return it to a new xml object in the document class it doesnt load it.I think that it's something to with the return being in a nested function but i tried a few ways and non seems to work.
[DOCUMENT CLASS]
loadXML:LoadXML = new LoadXML();
myXML:XML = new XML(loadXML.loadXMLFile("gallery.xml"));[code].....

I have a movie which is placed on the stage in the authoring environment, this movie is called LiftMovie. When the user clicks on a button in LiftMovie, it loads another movie into a placeholder called MallPlaceHolder and the LiftMovie has its visibility set to false.From the document class of the movie loaded into MallPlaceHolder, if the user clicks on the image of the Lift in the mall, I want it to make the LiftMovie visible again.

Is there a way I can load a swf file but not automatically instantiate it's DocumentClass? Instead I want to do something like the following:
protected function mainLoaded(e:Event = null):void {
trace('mainLoaded');
var main:* = this.mainLoad.createClassByName('Main');
trace(main);
}
Where mainLoad is an instance of CasaLib's SwfLoad and createClassByName is the equivalent to
loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition();
The thing is that when my swf finishes loading I can see it is created, because of some trace calls, although its obviously not added to the display list.

So I have created the main class for the .fla file but I want a menu screen before my game starts playing. However, because of my doc class loads on the first frame, I dont know how to control when the document class will start loading.

trying to get xml loaded from the external document class. I've tried several tutorials on this as well (although I think they are mostly for doing it within the timeline). This is in the main document class that is also doing a bunch of other stuff, but all the other stuff works.

I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");
[code]....
My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.

Instead of posting my entire files and such, I'll make a brief example of my situation and my desired outcome. My files consist of my document class entitled Engine.as and another class Abilities.as all within the same folder. On my stage I have a MovieClip with the instance name of item1_mc. On its personal timeline I have 2 frames, one entitled "inactive" and the other "active". Here's a sample of very similar code....

How I can load an external .txt document into a designated dynamic text box in my flash document. I've tried the two tutorials I could find on flashkit.com and neither of them worked for me. I did everything as told and still the text file didn't load. When I enter the actionscript into the editor, I'll click check syntax and I get an error!
Here's the code I have in the first frame of my actions layer:
stop();
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("updates.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[Code] .....
Here's what the error is:
**Warning** Symbol=text, layer=actions,
frame=1:Line 2: The identifier 'loadVars' will not resolve to built-in object 'LoadVars' at runtime.
loadText = new loadVars();

Well the shiny new app is now 830K and needs to be preloaded. Simple eh? I've got a preloader that works nicely but I've been trying all day to find a reasonable way to load a swf that was compiled as a document class. My solution was to make a bare bones swf that would preload my main app swf:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at QuizApp/createStatusBox()
at QuizApp()
That's the error message 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(){
createButtons();
private function createButtons() {
if (this.stage == null) {
trace("STAGE IS NULL!!!");
} var yPosition:Number;
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStage);

I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

so from using both my Actionscript 3 Bible and a friendly tutorial here on Kirupa... and another online, I attempted to create a class to load an .swf. I worked through the Kirupa tutorial, and it worked, but I wanted it to be in a class! This is where the problems come, when I run it, I get no errors, the bar flashes as if it's full, and it loads the content. When I try to simulate download however, the screen stays white and I receive an error
"Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed."

My flash application has lots of resources which will change all the time. In order to keep the the user from having to download my main .swf file over and over again, and in order to keep the main file's size low, I would like to put the resources into separate .swf files and load them dynamically from a url using a Loader.
Once downloaded I would like to extract the classes that are in the resource swf and use them in the main swf. Can anyone share some code for doing this? Note that I am not just interested in using a symbol from the resource swf. I would like to use a class, with all of its methods and everything, and my main swf does not contain the class definition. Only the resource swf does.

I have been searching for information regarding the use of loading an external xml file from a variable (string) that contains the location of the item and passes it to the document class.
I receive the following error:
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/xmikxm0/My%20Documents/workingDocuments/freelance/brightStar/webSiteStructure/core.swf contains invalid data. at BuildSiteElements/::frame1()[BuildSiteElements::frame1:2]
FLA code:
ActionScript Code:
/* variables to load XML */
var BuildItems_obj:BuildSiteElements = new BuildSiteElements();
BuildItems_obj.loadSiteXML("templateBuild.xml");

fla is in same folder as class and the fla compiles the swf in another location (outside the folder and pulls xml from the xml folder).

I'm trying out a game from a tutorial for a project, and I'm trying to load the next game from within the first .swf by means of a button, in this case loadButton, when this MC displays on the main swf (this is the GameOver menu screen). The syntax seems fine and there are no errors displaying, but the .swf itself isn't loading.The startLoad function I'm having problems with is at the bottom. I've tried loading external .swfs before but that was without classes... this is my first try with classes so I'm not sure if I named the public functions wrongly or put the wrong codes in the wrong places, screwed up my public vars, etc.
