Professional :: TypeError: Error #1009 - (Null Reference Error) With Flash?
Jun 13, 2010
I am not an expert in flash, but i do work with AS and tweak Flash projects , though not having deep expertise in it. Currently i need to revamp a flash website done by one another guy, and the code base given to me, upon execution is throwing the following error."--- TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null objectreference.atNewSite_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp_ContactOutP1_ContactOut_Contents_ 0() at NewSite_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() --"The structure of the project is like, it has theifferent sections split into different movie clips. There is no single main timeline, but click actions on different areas of seperate movie clips will take them between oneanother.All the AS logic of event handling are written inline in FLA , no seperate Document class exists.
Preloader Movie clip is the first one getting loaded. As i understood the error is getting thrown initially itself, and it is not happening due to any Action script logic written inline, because it is throwing error even before hitting the first inline AS code.I am not able to figure Out what exactly it causing the problem, or where to resolve it. I setup the stuff online, for reference if anybody want to take a look at it, and here is the link.You need to have flash debugger turned ON in your browser, if need to see the exception getting triggered.

happening i have one scene with three sections i have navigation buttons linking to each section so the user can go back and forth and my third section i have a firework animation using as3 and when i click on the button to see the firework go up in the sky. and i go back to section 2 i get this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at FirstAttempt_fla::MainTimeline/frame11()[FirstAttempt_fla.MainTimelin e::frame11:184]
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;function update(e:ProgressEvent):void{var percent:Number = Math.floor( (e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal );if(preloaderMC is MovieClip){preloaderMC.gotoAndStop(percent);preload_txt.text = String(percent) + "%";}if(percent == 100){play();}}loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, update);// Extra test for IEvar percent:Number = Math.floor( (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded*100)/this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal );if(percent == 100){nextFrame();}stop();
But here is the error message I'm receiving:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at 2ndtest_fla::MainTimeline/frame2()[2ndtest_fla.MainTimeline::frame2:3 9] at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren() at flash.display::Sprite() at flash.display::MovieClip() at 2ndtest_fla::mc_home_170()
The thing is...I've used the same exact process (new scene, preloader being above main scene, etc.) on another animation and it has worked perfectly. I don't know why it's not working this time. I used the exact same setup. Nor do I know why it's saying the problem is in Frame 2 when I only have my text and actions in Frame 1. It changes to Frame 3 when I move things over and so on and so forth.
stop(); button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClick3); function playClick3(Event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(422); }
On frame 422 there is no code at the moment. I keep getting the error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I used both timeline and code on this project, but when I play the movie, this error keeps on showing up. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Also, I have problems synching the music, how to I sync it so it matches the movie?
So my problem here is, I'm working on my Adobe Air project, so I decided to code some buttons to be able to navigate. The problem here is that I get a error for trying to do so. Here is my code.
[Code]...
I do not see what is wrong actually, I tried this on a blank non-AIR file, and it worked well.
I have a web page in joomla and I embed a video window from UStream that allows my users to see or hear our transmissions. Every time I load the page in which the embeded window is, I receive this error message:
[Code]...
I posted this message before but I notice it was no longer posted. I have no knowledge of programming so I am lost.
its giving me that error after I click a button to go to another frame. After I get the error, some buttons do not go to its destination and instead it just does nothing.The error is as follows:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at wmhssports_fla::MainTimeline/frame39()Here is the code for frame 39:
stop(); winter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick1); function buttonClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
I am not able to attach my FLA file becoz of its size.. which is 512kb.Below is the code for my
// Tweener // http://code.google.com/p/tweener/ import caurina.transitions.Tweener; var menu_label:Array = new Array("Introduction", "Our Company",
[code]....
The above code is working fine if i use the pages as above.. but i want the second menu item to display list item so i gave for frame 12 as flashmo_list_6.create("flashmo_228_news_list.xml") ; but it is throwing the below error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at sample_fla::allpages_16/sample_fla::frame12()[sample_fla.allpages_16::frame12:1]
Starting new thread for this topic as suggested by forum. I have a website which tweens movieclip pages (named home, bio, music, video and contact). Love the effect and trying to keep it. Main timeline contains the main buttons (home_btn, bio_btn, music btn, video_btn, contact_btn). Music page has a XML mp3 player contained in it with button control. Video page has an encoded video with no code.
I need the following:
1 - Music and video to shut off as those pages/movieclips tween off the stage. Gets annoying with them playing especially at the same time
2 - Music player to play correctly. It is not with the new code.
I have the following code. The "Tween Code" is on frame 1 of the main timeline of the movie. The "MP3 code" is on frame 1 of the music movie clip. I am getting the following ERROR message when running my movie. I ran the Debugger as I publish and it points to music.my_channel.stop(); in below code. My thought process on this was that it would reach out to the music movieclip, find my_channel and stop it.
I've read through several threads about this error, but haven't been able to apply it to figure out my situation... My flash file is an approx 5 second animation. Then, the last keyframe of each layer (frame #133) has a button in it. My flash file should stop on this last key frame, and you should be able to click on any of the 6 buttons to navigate to another html page in my website. Here is the Action Script that I have applied to the frame in which the buttons exist (on a separate layer, see screenshot at: [URL]
I have called this flash code in Flex using SWF loader . I got the following Error. Here I have attached flash coding for header_text_fla Kindly do the needful.

i made an external .swf with the "Displaycontent = image slideshow" in it voor the main site called Teaser, so when i press a button on the main site, it loads the Teaser.swf.when i press that button again, it loads again the Teaser.swf on top of the first Teaser.swf. so i decided to remove the first swf, but then the problem started."TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at easer_fla::MainTimeline/onResizeStage() line 128at Teaser_fla::MainTimeline/onTeasLoaded() line 70
I keep getting the #1009 error coming up, i checked that everything was on my stage and was named correctly.This is the error message that comes up:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Videogame_fla::MainTimeline/loop()Here is my code:
var carrot:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 460) +0; var carrot1:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 460) +0; var carrot2:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 460)+0;
I'm doing a simple animation for a varsity project. It's a story about a tiger (panjo) who becomes a vegetarian. In an attempt to keep the main timeline clean, and to keep the file size small, I moved all animations that the characters do into their respective timelines, and then I use object.gotoAndPlay(x) function to go to a specific animation in the sub-timeline, like a head moving, mouth talking eyes etc.
It has been working thus far, but now I'm stuck. I am trying to make the tiger's head move to look at something, but I get the above error when I want to go to that specific keyframe. Here is the code:
i have duplicated an object to use it in another frame (the object uses Greensock to scroll the X axis and i used a function (onMove(evt:MouseEvent)) but when i move my mouse this error comes up in the output tab TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Main_fla::mainContianer_1/onMove() and when i press one of the buttons to enter the new object this error comes up TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have a very simple preloader file which loads a "main.swf" file. I put on stage a LogoCompany (MovieClip), a Mask (MovieClip) and a Text (Dynamic).As the percentage of bytes from the .swf file increases, the Mask.x position is increased so the LogoCompany appears.
Here is the code:

The animation is actually going till the end (100%). But in the middle I always get this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at main_fla::MainTimeline/main_fla::frame13()
I checked Google and saw tons of results. Read some of the answers and tried to apply the solutions they used. Either it doesn't work or I'm doing something wrong.I kinda understand the error, but I don't know how to correct it.This is what I have in one frame. I know, I know...I'll use classes next time. Promise. The error only appeared when I implemented the following bit of code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at classes::Preloader/onComplete()
I have a couple of swf's which use a preloader at start referencing classes.Main.as file.Sometimes they output fine other times it spits out the above error.
I am getting TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Shugabug/frame106() when I add my buttons to the site i am building. you click on btn1 and gotoAndPlay ("portfolio") and I get this error.I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.This is a repeating problem I keep having! Do I need to export my button as actionscript in the symbol properties panel? I have the instances named. Or do I need to declare a var for the button?
I'm been trying to create a next and a previous frame button (AS3). As I tried in the middle of the animation, it turns this error when testing. Curiously, I tried to locate at the first frame and it works perfectly with no error message...!!?? The code I used is:
i'm making a website in flash.I have made some buttons using MovieClips and then animated them with some actionscript 3. from what i can tell there is nothing wrong with the code itself, the problem is with the MovieClips or Symbols or something...? that what i need help with!Here is the code for one of the buttons (i use the same code for every button only changing the instance name)
And here is the error message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at openingscene_fla::MainTimeline/frame107() at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()[code].....
home5, cartoon2, about1, contact3, donate4 is the buttons i use the AS for.
The error is listed in the title and here is the code. My problem is that the loaderproperly loads the main page, however when I click any of the link buttons nothing happens.the screen just stays at main movie.
