ActionScript 3 :: Flash Bugs When Accessing Property In Loaded SWF
Apr 10, 2011
I try access to (MySWF(movieClip)).id but I get a weird message error:
1120: Access of undefined property aslider
Which is defined in MySWF.init. If I remove (MySWF(movieClip)).id program works perfect! Isn't this weird especially as I have added
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
in MySWF constructor to ensure that aslider is on the stage.
In main:
private var idMySWF:int;
public function loadMySWF(event:MouseEvent) {
idMySWF = 1;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);

I am getting the following error when I importmy swf onto my main stage: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

On it's own the carousel works fine, it's only when I import it that it throws an error, all of the components within the carousel work fine (the images are highlighted on mouse over, the onclick code for the thumbs runs the right functions) it's just the scrolling that doesn't work.I've tried removing the references to stage from the loaded swf but I still get the same errors.I'm fairly new to flash but I'm finding the error messages to be fairly unhelpful at the best of times, I've attached the swf I'm trying to load in in a zip

test.fla's document class is Test.as
test.fla's library has two MovieClips ThingMovieClip and Thing2MovieClip
I tried accessing the Thing.as public var thingState's property;
directly,
using something called Casting (??),
assigning an instance name,
but something that seemed so simple doesn't work,I commented the errors I got next to each way I tried,conversely how would I access the MovieClip Thing2MovieClip from Thing.as (which is a child of Test.as because that's where it's instantiated), it just doesn't recognise an object of its parent exists, here are the 2 classes:
package com.hello.test.test
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code]........
I think i'm missing some basic but fundemental understanding of ActionScript 3 and I have no other knowledge of other scripting /programming languages either.when I follow tutorials exactly they seem simple enough, but then start applying what I think is logical usage then it throws up errors..

I am using the 1.2 version of Uza's Global singleton (http://www.uza.lt/codex/as3-global-object/). The container swf stores some data and a link to a function in the "global" object.
Then another swf is loaded inside the container, it gets it's global instance with Global.getInstance();, and i suppose i can access the data and function stored in global by the container swf.
This works perfectly on localhost served by a webserver, but when i put the files on my external production server the loaded swf's global appears to not have anything stored by the container.

I am trying to access a button inside an external swf file that I loaded. Problem is every time I try to access this button I get an error saying that it's null!
Here is my code:
public class DocumentClass extends Sprite
{
public var loader:Loader;
public var swfFile:URLRequest;
[Code].....
Now this should work, code-wise I think its correct. The problem is that loader cant find the required button. There is indeed a button in the loaded movieClip with an instance name of "button", I double checked that.
[URL] basically i was just a layer too high and this is why i couldn't access anything..

I have a document class which links to several classes, one of which adds a container onto the stage and loads external .swf's into it.Q: How do I access the various classes loaded in the document class from the external swf timeline?For instance, when you click a button in the loaded swf it changes the soundtrack from the soundtrack class. I have tried dispatchevent from the external swf timeline, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Is this supposed to work, or should I be doing something different?

I have two SWFs: a Loader SWF, and a Loaded SWF. I need to add the Loaded SWF to the display hierarchy, but I don't want to give it free access to the stage. It may, for instance, attempt to change the scaleMode, and I don't want that to happen. What are some good methods for restricting loaded content's access to the stage? I may, for instance, want to allow it to access the stageWidth and stageHeight, but not the scaleMode or align.
Additional Constraints. I can't change anything about the Loaded SWF. Both SWFs are in the local-with-file-system sandbox. These SWFs are both Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3, made in Flash Professional. Not AIR, not Flex. I'd love to be able to implement a proxy class or a getter to somehow intercept calls to the stage, but I don't believe there is any way to.
I don't believe, for example, that you can subclass the Stage class and use that subclass in place of the normal Stage object referenced by the stage property in all MovieClips. The stage property is read-only, so it can't be cross-scripted by the Loader to point to something different.

I would like to rotate the yellow circle mc, w/ it's nested white circle movie clip, and use the drawing API to have a line continuously drawn to the white circle as it moves around.
I'm using the code below. The line gets drawn to a static point, and not to the white circle (smBall) movie clip as I would expect.

I am having a problem referring to stage properties, where I am trying to e.g. obtain a third of the width of the stage. My code keeps throwing up the "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." I have found a few things from a search online, but haven't been able to work through it yet.
I should also say that I am working in flash and have made a movieclip with a movieclip inside (which is to be used as a roll-over menu for image thumbnails). The instance name of the 'parent' movieclip is "galleryPane"; and mc inside has an instance name "thumbnailsContainer" .Here is my code:

How can I access objects and modify their property that is ALREADY placed on the stage using external classes (AS file)? I 'm a newbie of AS3 and followed some tutorials about AS3 not long ago. For I learned scripting in AS3 can be done using AS file rather than script on Timeline. But I have a question. How can I "find" and "modify"the objects on the stage, or inside a MovieClip , in AS3?
For example, I have a file call Stage004.fla which have no document class linkage. I place the MovieClip "StageMain" which links the Stage004.as on the stage. StageMain has a textfield in it named "textFieldStage001". The Stage004.as is ran using "Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE" since StageMain is on the stage. I create another AS file WindowRename , to test can I modify the text in "textFieldStage001".
Then the famous error #1109 occurred.
"1119: Access of possibly undefined property textFieldStage001 through a reference with static type Class."
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Stage004 extends MovieClip{

I am writing a program in OOP and I have a custom subclass which I make a new instance of in the document class. When I do make a new instance of this custom class, I want this (the custom subclass is a movieclip) object to be positioned at the center of the stage. However, when I try
ActionScript Code:
this.x = (this.parent.width-this.width)/2;
flash outputs an error saying '1119: Access of possibly undefined property parent through a reference with static type'
How do I access the parent property?

I need to create an Array of movieclips so that I'm able to read / modify / add its properties. I thought the best solution was to create an Array of strings with each movieclip's name and then using this to convert the string to an expression, but I don't really know what to do when I want to access one of its properties. Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
var room:Object = new Object
room.objects = ["mcObj1", "mcObj2", "mcObj3"]
mcObj1.Description = "It's a ball and it bounces"

how to access a property of a child of a DisplayObject.
within a class i have an object with the variable name: btnLMain i have assigned it a name property: btnLMain.name = "btnLMain"; btnLMain also has a property: btnLMain.clickNum = 0; // thats the one i need to access when i instantiate the class (btnL) containing this code in the parent class i need to access the property "clickNum" so i did this:
var dispObj:DisplayObject = btnL.getChildByName(btnLMain);
displayObj.clickNum++;
but then i get the error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property clickNum through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
so then i reviewed documentation and from what i understand i am not able to access the property of the child of the DisplayObject as it is a static property...
so now i am trying to figure out how to access that property in the child Class.

Im dynamically creating an instance of a movieclip, call it a game piece. This game piece has 4 frames, each with a movieclip called base(although one is red, one blue, one green, one yellow). When the game piece is created I set the frame to indicate player color. Im also changing the alpha of base to 1.0 when its being dragged, 0.5 when its dropped.
Using the following code, everything works fine if the game piece color is set to the base in frame 1 (red). If the game piece is created and the timeline moved to a frame other than 1, I throw an error when trying to access base.alpha (this would be the second, third, and fourth instances of base in the game piece timeline). Heres the strange part, this is only a problem when the game piece is first created and added to the display list. Once created, even after the error has been thrown, I can access the alpha of bases 2, 3, and 4 in the drag start/stop listeners. Heres a link to the work in progress, and the relevant sections of code (shortened for brevity, t1 is the top left piece on the pallet, others just repeat the same code):[URL]

I have written a piece of code where I have created a custom class containing some of my custom properties.I have used multiple instances of this custom class in my main class and added it to a container.Now I need to access one of my custom property in the main class through container.getChildByName()."custom property", but I am not able to access my custom property using this.I get an error saying
Access of possibly undefined property orientation(this is my custom property) through a reference with static type ..name of my main class.
Is there no way that can i access custom property of components through the getchildbyname method of the parent container ??

When I use IK system to build a man and move it to perform poping, I found the more poses I gave to it the more its arms and legs would drift away. I didn't use alt and mouse to move the limbs. I only use my mouse to pose it. But WHY after I finished some poses, the limbs of the figure would get loosened?What was worse, If i adjusted those limbs(by alt and left click-drag) to fix the drift, the poses I have finished would be messed. So, what should I do?

error When your accessing a method or property from a subclass. Here's what I have done so far but no luck in my script.
1. I tried waiting for my attached movieclip to be added to my stage using the setTimeout method but no luck.
var timedProcess:Number = setTimeout(initRevealDropDown, 1000);
private function initRevealDropDown():void
{
clearTimeout(timedProcess);
var myInterface:Interface = new Interface();
myInterface.revealDropDown();
}
2. I also tried extending my subclass to interface where my instance method is defined for revealing my dropdown menu, no luck on that one.

I was wondering if there is a way in CS4, some option that you could turn on that when your program runs it'd walk you line by line through every code before it's executed and only execute it when you pressed a key such as Enter. There's gotta be a way to debug rather than constantly using the trace() command.

I work in a team of four to five Flash developers, making banner ads in CS5 on Macs. We all experience bugginess when pasting objects from one file to another. It's especially likely to happen when pasting an object onto the stage. What usually happens is: after pasting, you lose the ability to position things on the stage. Other weird things sometimes happen, such as registration points shifting in unrelated clips, or the whole Flash app crashing.This also happens when pasting in frames, or -- less often -- when pasting between libraries.We had one project with 47 ad units. When a change was needed across all units, we had to quit and re-launch Flash 47 times to paste in the revised movie clip and integrate it into the layout

I'm using this code to bring in another swf into a movieClip called "movieLoader":
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
movieLoader.addChild(myLoader);
var urlMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest("movie1.swf");
myLoader.load(urlMovie);
The movie loads just fine, but how do I access it?
I tried:trace(movieLoader.totalFrames);
and it just gave me "1". I know the movieclip has more than 1 frame.What do I do to access the swf called "movie1.swf" I just brought into that movieClip?
