Professional :: TypeError: Error #1009, Aka "urges To Murder A Kitten"?
Mar 7, 2011
Actually no, i wouldn't. But I do want to rip off my hair in frustration!"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.o, I made a flash file with a preloader, which in turn loads another flash file from a server. The "child" flash file is a slideshow of sorts - the 1st frame has a cover, a sound button, and a next button.I get this error the 1st time I try to run the movie. The 2nd time it works perfectly! Now, when I upload it to my server, it's just stuck on the first frame of the child swf.I've read that it's because something(s) is/are not instantiated yet, but I have no idea how to fix it! I also read that adding a blank frame before the content works, but it hasn't for me.The whole thing works with another file which only has an image, some animations and a couple o' buttons. I have no idea what I missed in the slideshow file
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 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.
Ive got a simple button that takes the user back to the main menu. the scrip for the button is:
stop();back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);function goHome(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("front_page");} however when i test the file I reveive an output error along the lines of:
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:

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.
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?
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:

I posted this message before but I notice it was no longer posted. I have no knowledge of programming so I am lost.
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:

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've been away for a while and I just started to work on my new portfolio website (in flash). The design is finished and I followed a tutorial on youtube called the ''the fluid flash website to keep your flash website always centered''.The tutorial went good but when I wanted to go to another frame with other contents, an error appeared in the browser saying:
Code: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at serrick_port2_fla::MainTimeline/resizeDisplay()
The code for the website is:
Code: stop(); import flash.events.MouseEvent; var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
when all my script code is in the first frame everything working fine, but when I put some code in second frame, i've got the error:
Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at khekhe_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[code]....
in the second frame i've receive the error i wrote about in the beginning. (i click btn_training, script sends me to the second frame, and when i click btn_back i receive the error).
I'm creating a simple gallery for a website which literally loads the next image when the image is clicked. I've set it up so that the images fade in. When i preview the .swf file in flash i get the below message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.atOutside_Portrait_fla::MainTimeline/fl_FadeSymbolIn_12()Everything seems to work ok, but im wondering if this is going to cause any problems. I've copied in the action script text which i have used below.
stop() /btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9); function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9(event:MouseEvent):v oid
I've searched the 'net and searched these forums but can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm creating a flash based game for school that so far has ten frames on the timeline. I have buttons on frame one, frame 5, and frame 10. I have actionscript code to control those buttons on frame 1, frame 5, and frame 10 respectively. The code is worded identically on each frame with the exception that I've changed the button names and the function names that are called when the mouse button is pressed. The code works fine on frame 1 and on frame 5, but when I click the button on frame 5 that sends me to frame 10, I get this error immediately:

I am developing a Jigsaw puzzle in Flash. I am developing a class for puzzle piece. The code of the PuzzlePiece class in given as follows. [code]...Is it wrong to access it like that. The PuzzlePiece is the export for a puzzle clip. For the time being I am hard coding the dimension as 60. I have aloso uploaded the fla and as files.
I keep getting this message as an error:"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."What im trying to do is make a button, that when clicked on, takes you to the main timeline, frame 3.so above my button i have this in the Actions:
stop(); page1turn_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onDispatch);function onDispatch(evt:MouseEvent):void{dispatchEvent(new Event ("back to the root", true));}
I am having a problem loading a swf into a movieclip inside another swf. I keep getting this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at contact_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
after googling the error, I have come to suspect that I am trying to load the swf before the stage is ready for it. Although, I load another swf and it loads fine. How can I verify which part of my movie is causing the problem?
I don't know why this is not working. I have a short quiz where in step one, the user clicks a button that populates text in a dynamic textbox. Then in step two, they do the exact same thing again.I've done research that suggests I'm getting this error because something is not loaded or something is not on the stage, but all of the items are on the stage and I'm not loading anything externally. I've narrowed it down to my first set of event listeners, but they all look normal to me.Here's the code (forgive the mess, there's probably an easier way to acheive what I'm trying to do, but I'm not versed enough to do it) and the fla:
Code: stop(); var firstak1:String = "The conference is in Detroit"; var secondak1:String = " please let me know if you have any questions."; var secondbk1:String = " I can easily drive to it."; var secondck1:String = " the cost could be as low as $250 if we register by tomorrow.";
I have a 5 page site made so far. On one of the pages I have a subpage and on this subpage is a video. The code I am trying to write is to stop this video playing whenever any of the other page links are clicked on the top.
The code I am using is:
Code: home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopVideoSound); function stopVideoSound(event:MouseEvent):void { videoClip.volume = 0 }
videoClip is the instance name I have given my video and home is just one of the page links. I haven't written the others in yet. When I preview this though I keep getting this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at assignmentinwork_fla::MainTimeline/stopVideoSound()
'assignmentinwork_fla' is the file name but I can't seem to work out what the rest means or how I would fix this so the video stops when teh subpage is clicked out of.
