Actionscript 3 :: Generic Way To Get Reference To A Method's Caller?
Dec 21, 2010
I have 2 classes representing 2 objects. From the "whoCalledMe" function, I want to find out what object called the function (without passing that information in as an argument). I've used a make-believe property, "caller", that would give me the reference I'm looking for. Is there a generic way I can get a reference to the caller from there?
package {
public class ObjectCallingTheFunction {
public var IDENTITY:String = "I'm the calling function!";

is there any way to know which method caused a certain event to be fired? For example, in NetConnection API, you can have: connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler); netStatusHandler is called everytime a Flash Remoting call fails for some reason: how to know which one failed?

My issue today is a DisplayObject error I'm getting when remove a child object. I have code that will launch(addChild) a video container and video controls as well as add a close button. Now the close button works fine and everything, removing the video and controls and I'm able to choose another video again, but when you click close a 2nd time I get this error: ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild() So I've narrowed down the problem to where I remove the videoContainer (which holds the video object) My code to play the videos:

I am new to actionscript and doing some research on it and stumbled upon this situation.[code]...
However, I expect that currentFig would contain a reference to a Figure object created in AddFig method, but it's not. What am I doing wrong? Why does an object exist only within a method?

well i have a problem with my analog clock. i have it in my homepage and now it's working fine, but when i test my movie and click in my portfolio, for example, my output windows gives me this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/clock() i don't understand because even when i change from page to page (or frames) the clock is still working and everything is ok... but the message keeps appearing till i close my test movie window... and i've noticed that when i go online, there are some files missing that weren't till i had the clock on my homepage.[code]

I am just trying to watch television episodes on my laptop. this error has been popping up for the last couple weeks for no apparent reason. At first, it also said the Flash Player didn't work with 64 bit whatever with IE8. The error said a patch was not yet made and to use IE 32 bit. I did this and am still getting the error. I have uninstalled flash player and reinstallaed it to no avail. This error led to further problems on my laptop resulting in a total crash. Fortunately, I was able to back up all my files before they disappeared. I restored the computer to a time before I started watching television programs on XFinity.com (about a couple months ago) and it seemed corrected for a while and then the error started again. I am given the option to continue or dismiss. either button allows me to continue watching the program, but then repeatedly appears even when I quit XFinity and watch the shows directly from the network websites.

Let's say I have a utility class that contains a static method. This method runs some math on the arguments passed to it, then returns an Array.
Example:
Code:

AS3 and object oriented script. My issue involves instantiating movieClips and referencing them correctly to avoid:Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I've spent hours researching this and know I am referencing an object that is not there but I don't understand how to instantiate the movieClip (I think I need to generate a class for the main movieClip?) I am such a noob and really apologize for the lame question. my file is hereThe file works but I know I'm doing it wrong and really would love to know the right way!Here's the full error:

Im getting a 'TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference' when I try to gotoAndPlay(15) in my .fla file. It can start playing frame 15 fine if there is no actionscript on it ie just an image but as soon as I add actionscript code it gives me the error. I have been trying for hours to try and solve it so if anyone coud help it would be much appreciated!I have included the.fla file and stripped most of the graphics out so it's under 300kb limit.

When using the fileReference.download method to let users download content from my server. Some users get a Security error when trying to downlaod. When studying the fileReference class it says: To avoid this situation, reclassify this SWF file as local-with-networking or trusted. But how do I do that? Do I import the security class and then set secrurity to:
Security.LOCAL_WITH_NETWORK;
If yes. Should I do that in my base class or the class that is "creating the error"? Or should I change the Local playback security to "Access network only" (I am using the cs3 flash)?

Because of this I am fighting with a number of packages that control a game I am trying to build. What I'm struggling with now is a map class being added to a strategyGame class.
The strategyGame.as listens for the spacebar to be pressed and held. Then calls spaceListener() in the map() which allows the the user to click and drag the map to move it on the stage.
But when I test the movie I get an error:
