Stage Is Null In Document Class?

May 13, 2011

In my document class named Engine, the stage variable is for some reason null:

package game
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

[Code]....

This was working fine up until now. I just recently added two dynamic text fields into a symbol, and all of a sudden the stage is null. I really don't see the connection.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stage Is Null Within My Document Class?

Apr 2, 2011

I keep on getting "cannot access property of a null object" errors. With the debugger I pinpointed my issue at the line where I write stage.stageWidth.So somehow the stage is null. This is within my Document class which is linked with the .fla. The strange part is that I haven't had this problem until just recently.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Blank SWF With Document Class - Stage Is Null

Apr 22, 2009

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at QuizApp/createStatusBox()
at QuizApp()

That's the error message I get when it tries to play. What I have is an swf that loads another when its done, the new swf is blank but has a document class to an AS file. It seems the problem lies when a function is not properly being added to the stage.

The function is added like this..
Code:
package{
public class QuizApp extends Sprite{
public function QuizApp(){
createButtons();
private function createButtons() {
if (this.stage == null) {
trace("STAGE IS NULL!!!");
} var yPosition:Number;
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStage);

Actionscript :: Targeting Sprites From A Method In The Document Class - Null Object Reference?

Feb 9, 2011

I am trying to code a flash app entirely in the document class. I am using GestureWorks with a touch screen. When a user essentially presses a button it calls a method that should hide a specific graphic but not the graphic they touched.

Essentially I need a way to refer to a graphic on the screen using a method besides 'e.target'.

I am receiving this error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

[Code]...

It can access photo1Sprite as 'e.target' when the button click happens on the photo1Sprite. The problem happens when to click one button (not photo1Sprite) and have it effect photo1Sprite. So I can make photo1Sprite react if my method is attached to it directly using 'e.target' but not if I am trying to call it from a method that was called from another element on the screen.

Actionscript 3 :: Access A Displayobject On Stage In A Class That Is Not A Document Class?

Mar 7, 2012

How to access a display object on the stage in a class which is not a document class?

I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve passing the stage as a parameter to the class.

One solution i always come across is using "TopLevel.as". Is it a good method because as far as I have heard using global variables is not recommended because it might cause some problems while working on big projects.

Flash :: Call Stage Objects From A Non Document Class?

Sep 1, 2010

I'm trying to manipulate (in this particular case add eventListeners) objects (in this case some MovieClips) on the stage from a class that isn't the document class.

1120: Access of undefined property trans.

Now I know that it's probably a scope thing and I probably can't access stage objects directly from a non document class (as I'm doing in the code below) but I can't figure out how to access them properly.

Anyway, here's the deal:

I've got 3 dynamic text fields (called "NL", "FR" and "EN") on my stage in a movieclip called "trans". I'm trying to add eventlisteners in a second class to make them do something when clicked on.

Here's my document class:

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
// Import custom classes.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Objects On Stage / Frame From Document Class

Jun 8, 2011

I'm trying to reference objects on the stage in the current frame from a document class in Actionscript 3 in Flash CS3. In this example, I'm trying to get at a dynamic text field with the instance name "question_txt", but there are also buttons and other things I'll need to get at to put event listeners on and such.

I have "Automatically Declare Stage Instances" checked in the publish settings, so the references should be there -- in fact, if I try to declare them in the class, I get errors about a conflict with the name -- but when I try to reference these objects (in any of several ways I've now tried!) I always get Null.

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.Stage;

Flash :: Access MovieClip Instances That Are Already On The Stage In Document Class?

Dec 15, 2011

I have created a game in flash, and due to the nature of the game, I have many movieclips placed on the stage manually in Flash CS4. They are not programmatically added as children to the stage, and so I am having difficulty getting access to them in the document class. So far the only method I have been able to use is to do stage.addChild(active_area); (for example), but there are many movie clips, all very differently named, so this method seems incorrect.I've discovered that my MovieClips are not children of the stage, but in fact MainTimeline, as when I for loop through stage.getChildAt(i);, only one child, root1, is traced out. How can I access movieclips that were placed on the stage in the timeline from the document class, without having to manually add them as children to the stage? So it looks like my problem wasn't that I couldn't access the MovieClips, it was that I wasn't modifying the MovieClips' values, so I wasn't registering any change in them.

Here is the code after I fixed it:
function manage_cursor(e:Event):void {
prevX=currX;

[code].....
