movie clips have defined functions for rollOut, rollOver and Release. On Release rollover function is set to null (on.Rollover {bla, bla, bla movieclip.onRollOut = null}.Is there a way to re-enable this function?

View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip. Inside that movie clip, I have an input text with an instance name of text. I also have 2 frames of actionscript.
How can I make it that the 2 frames are disabled, and only enabled once you click on the input text?
I want this to happen so you can type in the input text with all capabilities. I already used setFocus, however it doesn't grant me the ability to backspace.[code]...
I have a button that I would like to enable and disable a function within my game. The button is called "flashBang". I'm thinking this may need to be done with global variables to make the switch do this procedure. How would I go about scripting this variable? Also I want to be able to target this function during gameplay, if this function is enabled do this line of code - _root.gotoAndPlay("flash");
The code needs to fit somewhere in here i guess.
//hitTest top + bottom wall
if (_root.ball.hitTest(_root.topwall) or _root.ball.hitTest(
_root.bottomwall)) {
_root.yspeed = -_root.yspeed;
_root.audio.gotoAndPlay("flash_bang");
I thought I understood this stuff by now; the objects within a function are onlyaccessible within that same function, unless you return it to whatever called the function.However I dont think that you can do that for a function called with an eventlistner, so I set up what I thought was a global variable and set its contents within the function, thinking that the contents would be accessible later:
ActionScript Code:
var bmpd:BitmapData;
var URLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sample.jpg");

I'm trying to program a race timer with OOP, and I've been adding more and morefunctionality to its class. Everything had been running well, until I had the idea to put a countdown() function, to make a cool countdown effect. Things got worse when I wanted to make the countdown function to call another function when the countdown effect has finished.The code runs well when I first pass a function parameter from the Main class to the Timer'scountdown() function. The problem begins when I want that function to be past again on other private function of the same class, because this time, the function becomes nullOn the Main class constructor, I 've written the following line:
ActionScript Code:
timer.countdown(5, false, myFunc);

I'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?

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 got a small problem with a null object reference. The problem is that the function "menuClicked()" not seem to work that good.

Shouldn't I be able to read loaderInfo inside the creationComplete handler? I'm trying to pass a string from the html to my flash component, that's why I have to get loaderInfo working.
I've basically got an MC (menu_mc) that is on the first frame of the main timeline. I want menu_mc to call functions on the main timeline depending on its status. When the function is successfully called, I want to move menu_mc, however I get a null object reference despite the object menu_mc being visible on the stage.
here is the menu.as code
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
[code]...
As you can see from the commented out lines, I've tried doing the same thing with eventDispatcher, but have been unable to listen to the event from the main timeline.It seems as if the function is being called before menu_mc is placed on the stage, despite the ADDED_TO_STAGE eventListener.
How can i do a function that checks periodically if an array is null or not?
View 2 RepliesI'm having a hard time because of an "Error #1009:Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" Iget everytime I try to run my Flash-movie. I've attached the codethat is contained in frame 1.The function bringUpEasyQuestion is defined on frame 2, alongwith other functions that are defined there. Now when I test themovie, I get this message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method ofa null object reference.at MES_fla::MainTimeline/bringUpEasyQuestion()atMES_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()I've read that the Error1009-message means that you aretrying to access something that isn't there yet. And indeed, thebringUpEasyQuestion-function accesses objects that exist only onframe 2. But the first line of the function bringUpEasyQuestion isgotoAndStop(2);. The curious thing is that it works when i put thelast line of the code in frame one (the function callbringUpEasyQuestion(0);) on the first line
with the command gotoAndStop(2);?

I am having an issue with a class I'm working on. I currently load an image as a bitmap and store its data into regState:BitmapData so that I may make new instances of that image later on. When I test if I can use the loaded data at a later time with my newBitmapIntance() function, it says that regState is null. I'm lost as to why this is the case, since it works flawlessly to create an instance of itself in my loadContent() function.

the script i wrote is working fine. but the script attached to the flash player which i have no control over is throwing a script error (im using IE8).how can i fix this? if i run it locally there is no error.
'null' is null or not an object

but this is from flash script and i dont have control over it. it just say JScript - script block.

I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?
