ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting A Null Reference Of A Visible MC When Calling Function From A Class?
Jan 11, 2010I'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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Error #1009 (null Object Reference) When Calling A Function?
Jan 19, 2009I'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);?
Actionscript 3 :: What Does 'calling Methods Directly Instead Of Through A Reference' Mean
Aug 18, 2011I just went through a slideshow from Grant Skinner on improving performance of ActionScript. One tip he gave was written as, "Call methods directly instead of through a reference." I don't quite understand what this means.Does is mean to avoid making a function call to a variable referencing a function object?[code]Or do avoid making a function call to a variable referencing another object, which possesses that method?[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function In A Loaded Swf?
Aug 1, 2009I'm using FLex Builder and in my Main class I load an external swf. In the external swf there is a movieclip on the stage called house. In the library I have that movieclips Class name set to a class I defined called com.buildings.House
When I load the swf from the main class I'm trying to access a function called setup in the class called House. I have tried a bunch of different ways but I get errors for them all.
Code:
private function onLoadSwf( url : String) : void
{
var loader : Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoadComplete);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoadInit);
[Code]....
I'm at a loss right now and its driving me mad. In flash I used to use the var externalSwf : MovieClip = evt.target.content; example and it worked but with Flex Builder its throwing error saying setup is not a function.
With the Imap interface its saying externalSwf is null.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function From XML Images?
Mar 14, 2009I have a program that is displaying a number of images from an XML file. The images are being resized and displayed through a loop function. I'm creating a new Loader each time through the loop and adding it to the stage. The problem is, I then want to create an event listener that will call a function for a mouse event for each image. The first issue I'm running into: how do I determine which image is which after loading them to the stage (say I want to display a large version of the image when the small image is clicked)? Secondly, since I'm creating the Loader within the first function, how do I pass the Loader to another function, say the one called by the mouse event listener? I'm sure I'm going about the fundamentals the wrong way.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function On Parent Swf
May 11, 2009new to actionScript and trying to finish my final project, and i'm banging my head on a brick wall now, my question may be easy for some pros, basically i've loaded an external swf from a button at main.swf
[Code]...
this works fine. then i'm trying to disable the button function while the swf is loaded. I add another eventListener to the same button. function disableMenu( e:MouseEvent ):void { button1.mouseEnabled = false;}
that works too. ok now comes the problem. I have a close button on my child swf("content1.swf) to close itself and returen to main swf. but I want the button on main.swf to work again. so at the close button I add another eventListener hope to enable the menu. (note this is on the child swf!)

Only One Instance Of Same Button Calling Function?
May 17, 2009I have 4 instances of the same button on a single layer in a timeline of the mc 'coverflow_mc' named 'ThatsMe_btn_a' to 'ThatsMe_btn_d' ie same button, same position.. it just changes instance name on 4 keyframes. Why does it call the function fine for button a but not for b,c, or d? There is a stop on each of these frames and I can see from the swf that it is stopping at the correct frames.
function thatsMe() {
right = new Sound();
right.attachSound("right");
