I picked up the book ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University.so far it looks good. I have downloaded a few of the samples of code and some don't work or give an error message.TooEarlyExample gives me an error message of;TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at TooEarlyExample()The flash file has two text fields and the code is supposed to populate them with some text. The first text field doesn't get populated with text but the second one does.

I have built this AS2 game that uses quite a few classes and library symbols.It works fine the first time you play the swf. But if you try to do the whole ctrl + ENTER in the Flash IDE, it doesn't seem to load any of the assets that are dynamically attached to the stage.This also happens if you have another swf use loadMovie to load it.I have all the dynamically attached symbols assigned with the linkage and set to export on the firstFrame. There is an include .as file on the first frame of the fla.

I'm using ActionScript to listen for key presses and route to a method to handle them. It works fine in Flash Player Debugger 10.1, but does not work with the SWF in a browser. I've tried it with all sorts of keys: letters, numbers, etc. But I can't get it to work at all in the browser. I'm using Safari 5.1 and Firefox 3.6.8 on the Mac. Here's my relevant code:

I have a drag and drop game. You listen to a sound for exampl "bread" You proceed to drag that mc to a box. If it is the right object I want to remove that mc and splice the array so it doesn't choose that object anymore. However I have notices two things.
When I splice(0) a specific element - then nothing works. When I splice the cuurent indexed element ie: the last element to get right - it doesn't actually remove it from the array. I have highlighted the key code parts.

when was working on a keyboard handler class.Look at this video: http:[url]....I you press a key and unpress it, while other key is being pressed, you'll cancelate the KeyboardEvent .KEY_DOWN event...It seems the umpressed key fires KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP but the current pressed key doesn't register the new KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event, or KeyboardEvent handles both keys as one...

I'm trying to wrapup a slideshow for a client and the client asked for keyboardEvents in addition to buttonEvents. So I went ahead and added a stage.addEventListener and it works but only if you click on the stage first. In Flash CS4 itself when you test a movie, the problem doesn't happen but when you test it in a browser, the problem exists. Go to [URL] and see what I mean. Try the keyboard left and right arrows first. Then click on the stage and try again. How can I make it get focus on the stage on startup?

The problem is: when the game starts, "SPACE BAR" is working fine and changes the game from day to night. When the game ends and I press restart, the SPACE key is not working. On the third time it works, on the fourth not and it follows that way. Every second time that I play the game, the SPACE key doesn't work.
The game initializes the player and sends him as a parameter a stage object and the player listens for KEY_UP.When I press restart, the game runs the init() function again.Below there are the Game.as and Player.as classes.
Code:
package
{
import com.greensock.TweenLite;[code].....

In this script, I'm moving a sprite on the stage up and down using the keyboard. Works fine, except that there is a long delay after the SWF file has loaded until the key presses are registered and the sprite moves.
It takes about 5 seconds after I open the SWF file before the movement works.

I put together a rather simple interactive .swf file using graphical "buttons" to navigate through different screens. Afterwards, I was told to add in two keyboard events as well: one to navigate to the next screen and one to restart the .swf file.
Using the keyboard to navigate the way I explained above works fine--that is, until I use the mouse to click on a button. Once I do that, the keyboard events no longer work. For example, if I start off the .swf file by pressing the Space bar on the keyboard to navigate to another page, it works fine. If I then press the "R" key on the keyboard to restart the .swf file, that works fine as well.
However, the first time I click on one of the buttons on the stage to navigate to another screen, the keyboard events no longer work. I can press the Space bar, and nothing. I can press the "R" key to restart the .swf file, and nothing. It's as if using a mouse event disabled the keyboard events or made the .swf file stop "listening" for keyboard events. The only way I can get the keyboard events to work again is by clicking somewhere on the stage and THEN pressing the appropriate keyboard key. I'm guessing that's because I put the focus back on the stage, maybe?? (again, not an expert here)
My code is ridiculously simple, and it's on the first frame:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKey);
function onKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
[Code]....
Is there anything I need to do to this to make sure the .swf file is always "listening" and registering the keyboard events?

When I press CTRL + Enter inside Flash CS4, my movie exports perfectly. No errors.However, when I quit flash and load my movie or when I upload my movie on the internet, there are some mysterious errors (mostly null object references right from the start).

I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

I'm having a problem, where random IE's are not able to display my .swf file. All the IE's are IE8 with the latest flash pluggins and all security's are set at Medium, however some IE's get just a grey box and other's get the full flash file. What's going on? It works fine in Safari and Firefox of course, but why so much difficulty with AS3 Flash9 in IE? here is a link to the site, and it's the big image changer at the bottom of the front page.

I'm trying to export an animated text image, but for some reason, when I publish in .gif format, the text is all screwed up. I have example of it, in the attached file. It worked for me in flash mx, but in flash cs4 it doesn't work. I want the text to be readable and animated, in this .gif.

For some reason the Flash Uninstaller won't do its job. It says 'Installing', then 'Quit' but doesn't do anything. I've got all the browsers shut down.

I am developping this video player: In the exemple above, the player is loading this start image, to display it before the playing of the video:Here, I then tell the player to load the same image, but on another domain: As you can see, it doesn't work anymore. I searched on Google and discovered that I theorically had to add a crossdomain.xml, to make sure that there isn't security protection that avoid swf to load images from other domain. so put these two files on my different domains, to tell the swf to accept files from all * domains

I'm making a platform game, and the game runs perfectly fine as a swf, as long as Flash CS5 is installed. It won't even work if CS4 is installed. When the swf is played standalone, or embedded in a browser (tested on multiple machines). The collision detection does not work well, and the play simply falls endlessly. Has anyone experienced their code messing up somehow when run in similar situations that could provide some insight?

I'm working on a puzzle game in Flash. It's a two-player, head-to-head game with some realtime elements. It is not Tetris-like, but the level of player interaction and the rate of movement is similar to, though slightly more complex than, Tetris Battle on Facebook.
Naturally, I would like to match players up over the Internet. I would also like to prevent cheating as much as possible. Because of this, I am researching an authoritative server solution, much like Colin Moock describes in this answer to a similar question. That is, the server runs the authoritative game logic while the client runs a parallel simulation, sending player movements to the server for validation.
My question is this: Doesn't this essentially mean implementing the game logic on both the client and server side? Worse still, the server probably isn't going to run its simulation in Flash/ActionScript, which means you can't share code and you'll be implementing the same logic twice in two different languages.

I am a student trying to learn how to take multimedia elements from one class and put them on a webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. From an online tutorial, I created start/stop buttons with ActionScript3 URLRequest to reference a sound file. The swf works fine when played; it plays from the html generated by flash but when I use Dreamweaver CS4 > insert > media > swf and then preview page in browser (firefox), the button doesn't do anything. When I compare the html page generated by flash to the html created by Dreamweaver, they look completely different. I don't have a clue what to do next.

I have Flash CS5 and I'm trying to export SWC from it to use as a library with Flex SDK (FlashDevelop). I have "Export SWC" checked in publish settings and for a while it worked. Now, even if it still is checked, SWC isn't created (at least in the same directory as SWF). I even tried creating a completely new FLA and copied everything from the old library in there. Still it doesn't work.

This sounds quite ridiculous but my space bar doesn't want to work in Flash CS3. I'm a web designer and started recently for a new company. They asked me to include a flash image on one of our websites. When I try to add text to the stage, I can't make spaces. That is all. I've used flash before and I've never ran into this problem

I have a flash form that although it does exactly the same as its html version (just passing variables) doesn't work. It doesn't redirect to the right page, processing the send variabeles and sending a custom email. [code]As you can see it's just a form - no hidden scripts - and sends variables to the correct url.I've turned it into a flash form which is just a button which sends the exact same variables as above, but now the browser isn't redirected to the same page. Although the variables are sent which I can check in Firebug. It doesn't redirect to the same page as the html form and all variables are therefore not processed and no email is sent. The only thing I had to workaround is the variable name 'function' which in AS is a reserved word. Bypassed that by using array notation.It's just like the url the variables are send to can see whether the form is sent through html or flash?[code]

Why Flash Firebug doesn't work with flex 4.5?
UPDATE:
I have Flex 4.5 and in the main application, in the script tag I write:
import ominds.Firebug;
I use flash player WIN 10,1,85,3 Debug enabled. I export swf as 10.1.85 version.
And when I open the flashFirebug I get this: "No SWF files with the O-Minds package found, you should import the O-Minds package into your flash files. For more information visit: o-minds.com/products/flashfirebug"

When I work on my Air Project, I used stop(); to stay in a frame(which is my menu), I built the .air for testing purposes and the frames keep looping, as in, it plays all the frames, and it won't stop as it's instructed to. I'm building my Application in Flash CS5, not Flex.

I'm new to papervision 3d and I created two display objects in basic view.
Here's a part of the code :
...
_stick = new Cube(materials, 50, 5, 500);
_ball = new Sphere(new ColorMaterial(0xfc0000), 80);
In the onRenderTick method, I tried to check whether two objects are hitted
[Code]...
However, stick.hitTestObject always returns false even if the stick really hits the ball as I see in the flash.
