I fail to deliver a simple string via flashvars from the HTML-object-tag into the SWF to work with it.
I've stripped down everything to basics:
in HTML:
<param name="flashvars" value="myVideoFileName=teststring" />
in AS3 code:
var videoFileName:String = "";[code].........
What happens:In fact the string alway returns as "null" ... no matter what I try ... is there any basic thing I cannot see?
trying to cut text field to single letters and then do some animations on each letter. But, how do I know where to place (position) the letters? I tried using getCharBoundaries but once it reaches 3rd line, it keeps returning null values. Anybody knows why that happens
View 3 RepliesI've got an object inside an object. The child object basically loads a variable from SQL into one of it's own public variables. The SQL works 100%, because it traces out correctly.Now I've wrote a function from the child.as
Code:
public get_var() : String
{
return var_yes_friggin_work;[code].....;
Of course the files arn't called Parent.as and Child.as I've just had to rename them because our work is monitored though checking the internet and I can't delete this form.The FilePathOriginal doesn't output anything unless the string is manually set from the child, does anyone know where I'm going wrong here?

I have an ArrayCollection with following structure (when viewed in debug mode):
[0]
- [0]
-- src
- [1]
-- src
src is the path to an image.
I need to get all of the src's out of the arraycollection. However because of the first (unnamed) node I can't take them in. I've tried ArrayCollection[0].children and save the result in another ArrayCollection, however the new ArrayCollection has 2 Objects in it but no 'src'. There are just 2 null objects
firstArrayCollection is filled with the data as described above.
secondArrayCollection.addItem(firstArrayCollection[0].children);
When viewing the content of secondArrayCollection i see following structure (and data):
[0] null
[1] null
I'm trying to implement Gravity from GraniteDS. I did everything like in example from GraniteDS website, but when I'm trying to get gravity from servlet context, ravityManager.getGravity returns null. Here is the code: Gravity gravity = GravityManager.getGravity(contextManager.getServletContext());What can be the reason of this error?
UPD:
From web.xml:

ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop(); //deck = array of Card
}
Does not work. Firstly it runs an error which says
"cannot convert [] to Card"...
Shouldn't it pop() return just ONE element?
Then I correct like this
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop() as Card;
//deck = array of Card
}
And now I get no errors but the function returns null.... why? If I try this:
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():void{
trace(deck.pop());
//deck = array of Card
}
It prints [Object Card] which is how it should be ....

I have a small issue, which is important for my project though. Namely my global var returns null when I need it. I have a global var class:
Code:
package {
public class Global {
public static var premiseGlobalName:String = new String();
}}
In another class I'm setting this var like so:
Code:
public function onButtonRollOver (event:MouseEvent):void {
Global.premiseGlobalName = "My home";
this.addChild(premiseMenu);
}
The second line in the method calls another class to the stage which uses the global var. I trace the global var:
Code:
public function initPremiseMenu():void {
trace("GLOBAL: " + Global.premiseGlobalName);
}
But it returns an empty value.
I want to use the global var in a textfield like so:
Code:
premiseTip.text = Global.premiseGlobalName;
private function getFriends(thisSession:Facebook):void {
getFr = new GetFriends();
var thisCall:FacebookCall;
thisCall = thisSession.post(getFr);

I have an app where I am looking to make the enter key act like a tab key. I can easily capture the keypress event and setFocus to a textinput field. The problem is figuring out which textinput field to give focus to. I have this code
trace(this.window.focusManager);
//returns TheWindow86.focusManager
trace(this.window.focusManager.getNextFocusManagerComponent());
//returns null
//This is what I was hoping would work
this.window.focusManager.getNextFocusManagerComponent().setFocus();
The code is in a controller class and "this.window" references an instance of a nativeWindow mxml file "TheWindow.mxml". The first trace works as expected, but the second one gives null.
I am trying to create a custom object in AS3 to pass information to and from a server, which in this case will be Red5. In the below screenshots you will see that I am able to send a request for an object from as3, and receive it successfully from the java server. However, when I try to cast the received object to my defined objectType using 'as', it takes the value of null. It is my understanding that that when using "as" you're checking to see if your variable is a member of the specified data type. If the variable is not, then null will be returned.
This screenshot illustrates that I am have successfully received my object 'o' from red5 and I am just about to cast it to the (supposedly) identical datatype testObject of LobbyData:

I'm starting a facebook app using iframe method.I am using flex and so far I am able to connect to fb (login and out). Now I am trying to retrieve current logged in user name. In the document I see this function is what I need. Facebook.getSession().A tutorial in adobe site uses desktop api and it works for desktop (AIR app) but not for web app. (yes, i fixed Facebook.getSession() instead of FacebookDesktop.getSession(); Also, I am able to see the uid but not the user. User returns null. uid is a string and user is an object. But on the desktop app,FacebookDesktop.getSession().user.name returns the name perfectly. but on the web, it does not.

I did a separate levelData class to be able to flexibly add levels. I was happy with it until my supervisor ordered me to convert my levelData into XML. I did an XML version of the levelData's data (question, answers, correct answer...). I used the old class and converted it so that it fetches the XML.
All seems well, I did traces of my answers array and it printed nicely...
But the headache started when I tried this.

// currentLvl:LevelData initialized in the constructor.

I am trying to call a method that has some xml functionality and It keeps coming up null.What I am trying to do is; I have a page that has four dynamic text fields that get their content from an xml file.

The Document class loads a list of external bitmap images. As the images are loaded, the following takes place for each:
Code:
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.bmpData = bmp.bitmapData;
obj.bmpFilename = bmpFilename;
bmpDataList.push(obj);
As you can see, an object is created and the bitmapData is stored inside of it. This object is added to an array.Later, when a key is pressed, a new instance of a class is created. A function is called that retrieves the appropriate bitmapData and this is passed to the constructor of the new instance. Example:
Code:
//Instance is created:
var newChar:BaseChar = new LowA(getBmpData("a"));[code]....
The problem is that getBmpData returns null when the SWF is accessed on the remote server. Result = no images seen. It works just fine locally.
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?

View 4 RepliesI have a mediator that I've registered for a navigation page:
facade.registerMediator(new NavPageMediator(viewComponent));
I'm trying to retrieve that mediator on another page like so:
var navPageMediator:NavPageMediator = facade.retrieveMediator(NavPageMediator.NAME) as NavPageMediator;
However, that statement returns null. If I try to cast it using the NavPageMediator(facade.retrieveMediator(NavPageMediator.NAME)) syntax instead, I get a TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.website.mvc.view.page::NavPageMediator@237560a1 to com.website.mvc.view.page.NavPageMediator.`
I can't, for the life of me, understand why NavPageMediator@237560a1 would be unable to convert to NavPageMediator, nor what happened in between registering the mediator and retrieving it that caused this. Especially since trace(new NavPageMediator() as NavPageMediator); returns [object NavPageMediator].
Incidentally, and this may be part of my problem, I don't understand what the @hash at the end of the object is (@237560a1). Is it simply an internal identifier for that class instance?
Edit:Left a bit of important info: The SWF in which I instantiate and register the mediator is separate from the SWF in which I try to retrieve it.
I have two MC's on stage,
MCmenu is a button array,
MCtext is a collection of text with frame labels. It's labeled as MCtext
The menu buttons tell MCtext to play the frame label as the button clicked. This *used to work*, but Flash was laggy as hell so I updated it. Now the same code returns #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MCmenu/itemClicked()
Code:
function itemClicked(butn:Event):void {
parent.MCtext.gotoAndPlay(SomeArray[butn.currentTarget.label);
}
I've tried just using a frame number, but still the same #1009
I've tried the Script Assist to target the MC on the stage:
using root.MCtext... still the same #1009
using this.MCtext... returns a #1010
this function bellow returns the String for display in an item renderer.

But i am blocked about the public function set selectedLabel(label:String):void is there anyone who know a function labelToItem or another solution to set my combobox selectedLabel

My dynamic text returns null instead of pulling the info i want from my xml file. here is my actionscript and here is my xml. the really weird thing is that i had it working at first. the only thing i changed was the name of the xml file. i used to be called "test" but i needed it to be named something more appropriate so i changed the filename and then i changed the actionscript where it is parsed. so it SHOULD work... but it doesnt. here is what you see instead of the correct info. it seems like the link between the xml and the fla are not communicating with each other anymore, is there anyway i can check to see if the parse is correct?
View 1 RepliesI have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.
View 6 RepliesIt seems as thought whenever you try to treat a class as a String (such as putting it inside of trace() or similar), if that class has a "toString" function, it will get the string from whatever that function returns, and will otherwise return something along the lines of "[object MyClass]".
Are there any more of these special functions?
Also, a bit of a far stretch, is there any way to do this with custom classes, for instance, your class may be a PolarPoint, but people can call "toLinearPoint()" and get an instance of a class which is a LinarPoint but with the same data.
Now, this is simple enough to do manually, but let's say you pass in the PolarPoint in a function where a LinearPoint is expected. Is it possible to make Flash automatically run the toLinearPoint() function if found? Similar to how Flash will run toString automatically if passed in as a String somewhere.
That second part is probably more of a hassle than it is worth though, but it would be REALLY handy if you are unable to extend two classes at once, but want your class to be able to be treated as both.
I am trying to convert a bytearray into a string. The problem is whenever I try to append a NULL character using String.fromCharCode(0) it cuts off the end of the string and than I cant run it throw base64. I tried using String.fromCharCode(32) (space) instead but no luck.
