ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader Keeps Displaying An Error #1009: Cannot Access A Property Or Method Of A Null Object Reference?
Nov 23, 2010
My preloader keeps displaying an error when I try and load my SWF in it.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Main()
The swf works fine but the loader doesn't work with it. I worked out that it was because I used "stage" in the eventlisteners of the SWF file but if I remove these the game keys don't work, but the loader does.

I am having really annoying problems with Flash. I am using CS4 and the file uses AS 3.0. Anyway, on to the problem. Basically I am creating a flash-only website. Source code for main site:
[Code]....
After I have done this, the whole thing is not working anymore, and I get the following errors: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at website_fla::MainTimeline/frame2()[website_fla.MainTimeline::frame2:3] at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()

I have a preloader which has this code (simplified):
Code: Select allvar loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("x.swf"))
function loaded(e:Event):void
{}
And x.swf has this code (very simplified): Code: Select alltrace(stage.stageWidth); When I run preloader, I get this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at x_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I just found the external preloader tutorial and it's Perfect, exactly what I needed! I just have one issue which I can't figure out.. It all works fine with other swf files such as the content.swf example it comes with, however when I try link it to a site I'm making (a fluid as3 layout) it states: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Website()" Here is the syntax - it's just the same as on the tut but trying to load 'website.swf'..

I am quite confident i am having no issue with my preloader codes and have managed to identify why i keep getting the Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. My preloader.swf is loading a home.swf. Within this home.swf i have some codes that makes reference to the stage. EG stage.stageWidth/2 Once i deleted away this line of code there is no error. Is there anyway that i can still reference my stage in home.swf without getting Error #1009?

I used an external preloader to call a swf is totally calling all the objects and functions through class, and there is nothing on the stage and timeframe. It shows TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at main() Isit because i must put something on the stage or timeline for it to load??

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?
