I name frame 50 "_foo" (in the IDE)
I can trace this._currentframe at any time (and get a number)
I can gotoAndPlay("_foo");
But how can I find out if the current frame IS "_foo" as the movie plays?
how to access an object property from a different frame. This is my code:
Frame 1:
var HelloWorld:Object = new Object()
Frame 2:
Number = 5
HelloWorld["Planet"+Number] = function(){}
HelloWorld["Planet"+Number].Person = "John"
[Code].....
So how could I make it accessible from all frames? I've tried adding _global to the code on Frame 1 but it still wouldn't work...
with this code I get the following errors:
"Access of undefined property stage.
Access of undefined property pressHandler
Access of undefined property myTimer
Access of undefined property timerHandler"
I didn't get these errors when I had the code in an actions frame.Just now that I have them in a seperate document class they come up.
I have a movieclip with two frames. Each frame has externally loaded text with associated CSS. The first frame works fine. However, when I click the button that takes me to frame 2 I get this error:
[Code]...
I created the following AS for a particular frame
Code:
cnx.addEventListener(CNXConnection.DIGITAL, onDigital_10);
function onDigital_10(e:DigitalEvent)
{
[code]....
While debugging everything works properly if I'm testing that frame.But, pushing a button in another frame, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at "frame number:raw number"
I'm quite sure that the problem is that the variable e.Join changes its corresponding e.Value pushing a particular button in another frame (as must be). Any ideas how to link that information to the frame that create the error?
It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example
I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
how I access variables in a frame on the stage with code from a frame within a movieclip?(basically passing variables from a stage frame to a movieclip frame)
View 4 RepliesI know there are a number of posts dealing with this issue. But, I'm still not understanding it.I keep getting a "1120: Access of undefined property CSSloader." in the following script:
package as3.comp{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

I need to access the property Access inside of my class. Actually I can do this in my FLA Reader.Access, but take a look in onComplete function, this function try call Access, but nothing happen.[code]

View 7 Repliesi am working on a flash liquid website on AS3. The main fla file works with the website.as file where all the code adjusts all the movie clips on the stage. (middle, top left, top right, low left etc etc)This works fine...however.. when i add buttons and interactivity to move to another frames on the timeline inside the middle movie clip i get this stupid errorCannot access a property or method of a null object referenceI got this before and i know that flash doesnt read the instance of the button..
View 2 RepliesI have an app where I am wanting to use some movieclips when clicked on to remove the current movieclip and add a new movieclip. My problem seems to be that whenever I refer to the homeArtist_mc movieclip I get an error.
For example on line 50 in my actionscript I have
homeArtist_mc.buttonMode = true;
And I get this error
1120: access of undefined property homeArtist_mc.

Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>.Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
first of all I am completely new to AS3.I want to create a simple website, with 3 buttons.Once you click on the button, content should appear next to it. But i have trouble
programming even one button.Here is the script:
stop();
photography_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, photoclick);
function photoclick(event:MouseEvent) {
[code]....
This works:
ActionScript Code:
var gc:Rectangle = (textField[11].getCharBoundaries(startIndex));
trace (gc); // returns (x=32.7, y=2, w=4.15, h=8.85)
[Code].....
There are some documented bugs in getCharBoundaries, but this seems fine as it will obviously retrieve the relevant values. I can't believe I have to pull out the x value using toString() and a RegExp
Getting: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at CatProcess()
Don't know why. When I run it, it's the userName_iBox that isn't being added to the stage so it must be to do with that but I can't see whats wrong with it.[code]...
I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf.The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button"racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error.[code]when I press any button everything works fine except from bordButton to racerButton

I am working on a piece of code and I am getting bizar Access of undefined property name errors. I am posting my code below. About half way through the function, references to "name" become undefined.
Code:
private function getIcon(_name:String):int{
//5 is min length valid name can be y.xxx
if(_name == null || _name.length <5){
[code]....
In all the code past this method, all the variables and class names are showing as undefined.
So I'm quite to Flash, AS3, etc... And this is making me nuts I'm taking on creating this website but some of my buttons just continually get a "1120: Access of undefined property" error. These are very simple buttons (not movie clip buttons or anything fancy), and their use is to navigate from one section to another (no more no less), using Labels (not much of a surprise here either).
I'm not sure whether this is relevant but the button IS inside a movie clip called "jobPositions_mc", the instance name is "jobPositions".The button is a generic button that I reused for different job positions, each one with a different instance name. In this example, the button name is "JobsOpeningButton_btn" and the instance name is "jrSalesBtn"The label of the frame I want to go to by pressing the button is "jrSales"
The script I'm using is the following:

View 2 RepliesI'm new to Actionscript and am creating my first flash website for my degree. So far I've managed to get the home page to animate by tweening using actionscript. When the menu options are clicked I want the website to slide to different pages. So far I've tried just getting the background to move but get the error 1120: Access of undefined property. "background_img" is the instance name and if i use the code in the portfolio.as file i can tween it fine.[Code]...
