Actionscript 3.0 :: Preloader Error #1009 With Movie Class?
Dec 9, 2009
I am attempting to use a simple preloader that I've used many times in the past but am now receiving an error. The difference this time is that I've created a Class as opposed to just placing all of my code in the the time line. I've placed the following code in the timeline of my preloader movie and am attempting to load the SWF of my main movie, which uses an external class for all of its code.
ActionScript Code:
Code: Select allfunction loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
[code]....
When I publish the file, I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at game()
Everything runs perfectly fine when i publish the file not using any preloader.

I'm trying to add a preloader to my flash movie so the user doesn't have to wait for additional frames to load while they are navigating. When I try to shift my current frames over by 2 frames to make room for the preloader I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at APIVisionDigitalRecall_fla::MainTimeline/frame3()[APIVisionDigitalRecall_fla.MainTimeline::frame3:20]
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at navBar()
Everything works fine before I shift the frames by 2, so I don't understand why I'm getting a complier error abut an object not existing. What to do to add a pre-loader to my existing movie without moving everything over by two frames?
I was planning on putting this code on frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
var kbtotal:Number=stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal/1024;
var kbloaded:Number=stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded/1024;
var percent:Number= Math.round(kbloaded/kbtotal*100)
loader.gotoAndStop(Math.floor((precent/100)*100));
loader.loadingStatus.text=Math.round(kbloaded) + " lb / " + Math.round(kbtotal) + "kb";
This code on frame 2:
ActionScript Code:
if (kbloaded == kbtotal){
gotoAndPlay("Main");
} else{
gotoAndPlay("Load");
}

I've been trying to load external swf ("index.swf") with the following code in AS3:
//it's a simple preloader with one dynamic text field: "percent"
//the "index.swf" is suppose to stop at 689 frame after being loaded (this part works fine)
stop();

i have a preloader.fla(swf) file; when loading is complete the Portfolio.fla(swf) displays.
The preloader.fla worked fine up until I attached a file called MyContent.as to the Portfolio.fla file. Now I'm getting an error message when I preview the preloader.fla that says:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at MyContent/init()
at MyContent()
How do I correct this so the Portfolio.swf page displays?

i've put simple preloader on frame 1. since then i get an 1009 error message. I debugged the file and it seems like it is referring to 'franklin_button' but this is the button on the stage. i've checked the instance name thousand times and it is correct name.
frame 1(preloader script)
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PRO GRESS,checkLoadProgress);
function checkLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
[code]....
p.s. i also tried to seperate them on different scenes but this doesn't work either.

Of course I receive the #1009 error : Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I guess it is some "stage issue" but I'm not familiar enought with AS3 to avoid the problem by my own.

I've made preloaders in the past, but now I'm getting this error, and I don't know what is exactly the problem. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at com.mugui::Footer().If I erase all references of the footer from my Main Class the flash works normal. So the problem comes from my footer, but why?.My main class:
Code:
public class MuguiMain extends MovieClip

private var contentHolder:Sprite = new Sprite;[code]..........

First off, I want to say that this is my first time posting on this site. I have frequented gotoAndLearn for a couple years and it has always proven to be incredibly useful for me as a novice coder. On to my problem: I have the basic skeleton for a portfolio site built using AS3. It runs like a dream when I test it on my computer, but when I posted it online it lags, creating a jittery effect that, we can all agree, is not desirable. To remedy this I have used Lee Brimelow's AS3 preloader tutorial to create a simple progress bar/preloader. The preloader works fine when simulated and the portfolio file loads, as well. I do, however get the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Portfolio_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

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 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'..

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 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?

Well the shiny new app is now 830K and needs to be preloaded. Simple eh? I've got a preloader that works nicely but I've been trying all day to find a reasonable way to load a swf that was compiled as a document class. My solution was to make a bare bones swf that would preload my main app swf:

I am getting a 1009 error using tweenlite. I have placed the COM folder of tweenlite in the same directory as the FLA. On the main stage I have imported the tweenlite class using:
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
On the main stage I have a MC called mainholdermc. When I click a button called mentions but on the main stage it basically tells mainholdermc to play. This works well. I have another movieclip called vosdes. At the same time that mainholdermc plays I want to use tweenlite to make the aplha of vosdes lower. If I put this actionscript on the main page it works fine:
Code:
mentionsbut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainholder);
function mainholder(event:MouseEvent):void {
mainholdermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
TweenLite.to(vosdes, 0.4, {alpha:0.1});
}
The problem is that I want to move the tweenlite command to within the the vosdes movieclip. So within the vosdes movieclip I have this written in the actionscript:
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*
TweenLite.to(this.vosdes, 0.4, {alpha:0.1});
I found that by using
Code:
this.MC_NAME
it is the equivalent of the _root in AS2.
However this is not working. When I compile the FLA no errors occur until I click on the mentionsbut and I get the following error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at com.greensock::TweenLite/init()
at com.greensock::TweenLite/renderTime()
at com.greensock.core::SimpleTimeline/renderTime()
at com.greensock::TweenLite$/updateAll()

I'm trying to make a slide-show that adjusts to the width or height of the stage, and eventually, of the web browser window. I was able to load and resize a picture by writing code on the timeline, but I got the Error #1009 (Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference) when I put this slide show into another movie clip loader (which chooses between different swf pages of the website, with the purpose of keeping the swf file sizes down). By the way, my "slide-show" loads the picture fine. When I use the movie clip loader to load this "slide-show" it works too. Only when I use the Flash Player to open it, it gives me the Error 1009. I looked around on actionscript.org, and everyone seems to be recommending the folowing code (or something like it):[code]
I also ran into some information about document classes and I figure maybe I should be using document classes to make this stuff more modular and reusable. So I put my slide-show code into an .as file, importing all the flash.xxx.* classes, and put it in a package and class and constructor function... in the same directory as my swf file, and set it as the document class to a blank fla file. Then I tested it and all I got was a blank swf. This is without the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE code. I guess I don't know how to get the document class thingy working either. So my question is, can someone tell me how I can change my slide-show code into a working document class without the Error 1009?r?[code]

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??

I have created a simple slideshow of thirteen frames. The slideshow script starts at Frame 2. This is because I have inserted a preloader in Frame 1. When I output my SWF and upload it to the web, it pulls down without incident. However, when I "Simulate Download" locally, Flash says this in the Output window:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at AS3GallerywPreloader_fla::MainTimeline/updatePreloader()
[AS3GallerywPreloader_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:9]
And it keeps writing this error message, ad infinitum, until I close the SWF movie window!
Here is the preloader script:
stop();
loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader (evtObj: ProgressEvent): void{
var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100) /evtObj.bytesTotal);
preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
if (percent==100) {
nextFrame ();
}}
I should note that the slideshow portion functions as it should (the Back and Forward buttons advance frame by frame). In essence, the whole movie works. But I suspect I that error code is a bad thing to have. I ran the "Debug" feature (Debug-->Debug Movie), but got no apparent indication of a bad line of code.

In my 1st frame I have the following action script and it works fine.
cal.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){gotoAndStop( "cal" )});
trucks.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){gotoAndStop( "truck" )});
raven.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){gotoAndStop( "raven" )});
frank.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){gotoAndStop( "fr" )});

I've posted a lot of code below. It still loads / traces fine on frame 1. On other frames only the last two come up in a trace (though they should all be the same). Then when returning to frame 1 they are all null.
