ActionScript 3.0 :: Null Object Reference - Creating A Movie Clip Button
Aug 20, 2011
I'm creating a movie clip button and for the out state I have this:
web_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, at_out);
function at_out(event:MouseEvent):void {
web_btn.gotoAndPlay(30-(web_btn.currentFrame-11));
}
It gives me this error when I click the button: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::web_mc_37/at_out() I know the error is in this statement: web_btn.gotoAndPlay(30-(web_btn.currentFrame-11));

Basically 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 am trying to use this script to jump to a certain point on my timeline:
feature1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, feature1);
function feature1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(620);
}
I have the instance of my button labeled as "feature1_btn". Why am I getting this error?

I have a button at the start and end of a short timeline, it works fine. But when I add a simple MC to the up state of the button, flash gives me this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at BtnWithMCinside_fla::MainTimeline/frame18() The 'mc within a button' method has worked great until that button is placed beyond the first frame. why this is happening and how to fix it? (SWF attached)

I have two Flash projects, an Intro (1 scene) and a Portfolio (5 scenes).I copied all layers from the Intro and created a new scene in the Portfolio file,and pasted the layers. All of my buttons work except for the button that brings me from the end of the Intro, into Portfolio.weirdly enough, this the same button that I use throughout the portfolio to bring me to the "Home" scene.When I remove this button, the error message goes away. Below is the action, and below the action is the error message.
BtnHome_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick18);function onClick18 (event:MouseEvent)
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Portfolio_Final_fla::MainTimeline/frame28()

I have these actions on Frame 1 which works fine...
[Code]...
The button on that frame (frame 50) is a new instance of the mainMenu button which was used on frame 1, but with new code (see below), which tells it to gotoAndStop on frame 2, but doesn't work. Any thoughts on this?

I have a page that I'm working on that works great except I keep getting an "Output" message stating: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at StillFrameFoto_fla::MainTimeline/portfolioOut() I'm pretty sure I just need to get rid of my button instance, but I don't know how. I have my buttons on frame 1 and I want them completely gone when it moves to frame 2. Here is the code for one of my buttons on the first frame:

I seem to be having a recurring problem attaching events to a button i have created within 2 other movieclips.I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
So it looks like it can't find the button, in order to attach the event listener. The question is why? I am attaching a similar event to a button on the main timeline and that works fine. So it looks like a scope issue, but I am referring to it properly.
code below:
Code:
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.*;[code]................

So my problem here is, I'm working on my Adobe Air project, so I decided to code some buttons to be able to navigate. The problem here is that I get a error for trying to do so. Here is my code.

I do not see what is wrong actually, I tried this on a blank non-AIR file, and it worked well.

I'm animating some mc's at the beginning of the timeline with AS3 (mostly alpha fades), but then I have some tweened animations further down the timeline and a "naviagation bar" that's on all frames, so a user can click a button and jump to a part of the timeline to see some other animations.My problem is that if I don't wait to see the programmed animations at the beginning and just clicka button to see the other tweened animations, I get an error:
"Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at flash_fla::MainTimeline/tube_glow2_animate()"
(tube_glow2_animate() being the name of a function)

My movieclips are being nulled when moving between scenes, they are created on the stage and accessed through as3. I have login screen with three button, one logout, one exits the system and the other takes them to the next scene. When going back to the login scene, and trying to access movieclips like add eventlisterners etc... it comes back with null object reference, claiming that my buttons which are on the stage are null and sure enough if I debug they are. Any reason why my movieclips are being made null when moving between scenes?

I have a movieclip that I add to the stage and Im trying to reference a input text field on the second frame.When I trace the textfield on the first frame via the constructor it returns object textfield correctly.When I hit the enter button to go to the second frame where I will need to use password... I get a null when tracing. I can see it, I can write in it and no matter what I do I cannot seem to reference it.
Code:
public function Registration():void
{
trace(this.usernameField); //returns textfield correctly[code]...
In case you need the parent of registration its just the document class and I create registration like this..
Code:
var registration:Registration = new Registration();
addChild(registration); //ive also added it to the stage w/ no luck

I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?

I have a form where a user can select up to three radio buttons and click submit. however if they don't select a radio from one of the groups (they dont care to answer the question or just missed it) the value of the radio button (I think) is null and gets returned as such using this code:
function Question1():Object{ return RadioButtonGroup(Q1R1.group).selection.value;}
Then, when they hit the submit button it sends the values to the database. This works fine, but only if they select a radio button for each group. If they missed one I get the following error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at mid_fla::MainTimeline/Question1() at mid_fla::MainTimeline/clickHandler()"
When I did a trace on the value of Question1() it returns function Function() {}
how to check if the value returned is a null object reference or whatever and give it a default value if it is?
