Working On An A*: TypeError

TypeError?
I've been trying to figure out why I keep seeing a typeError in my logs for a stream archive system that I built using this popular online article:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31667

The error I'm seeing is below:

I believe the problem has to do with the timeArray.push line. I'm not sure that timeArray is actually an Array or just a reference to an Array. I'm not a skilled flash programmer so I'm probably way off here but any help would be very much appreciated.

TypeError?
I have a movie-clip with a roll-over,roll-out and on-click function; a pretty simple button. When I test my movie the button works just fine and when it is clicked the movie continues. However, when I click the button an error messages also appears. Below is the error I receive and the code applied to my movie-clip. Any thoughts on this error message?

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

TypeError #1034 ?
Hello everybody,

I keep getting this error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.mydomain.unight::unight$ to com.mydomain.unight.unight.
at com.mydomain.unight::enterSite/::mouseRl()

I got a button in my library with the class: "com.mydomain.unight.enterSite"
In the enterSite.as is some code for a mouse release:

Code:
package com.mydomain.unight
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.events.*;

import com.mydomain.unight.*;

public class enterSite extends MovieClip
{

public function enterSite()
{
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseRl);
}

private function mouseRl(inEvent:MouseEvent)
{
unight(unight).removeLogo();
}
}
}
As you see i'm trying to start the function 'removeLogo' in 'unight(unight)' (my document class).

In this document class unight I got this code:

Code:
package com.mydomain.unight
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

import com.mydomain.unight.*;

public class unight extends MovieClip
{
public var enterSiteBtn:enterSite;

public function unight()
{
var enterSiteBtn:enterSite;
this.enterSiteBtn = new enterSite();
this.addChild(this.enterSiteBtn);
}

public function removeLogo():void
{
trace("removeLogo");
}
}
}
Someone knows what is wrong, or what this error is saying?
The error shows up after the mouse is released..

Thanks a lot!

TypeError 1009 - Why Though?
The following code returns a 1009 error:


Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at myfile_fla::MainTimeline/colorActiveItemEvent()
But I have no idea what it is referring to exactly. The thing is, the code works, except everytime I use it inside test mode I get this annoying typeerror...

Does anyone know the reason, or fix for this?

Here's my code:


Code:
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

function colorActiveItemEvent(eventObject:Event):void {
var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = activeItem.transform.colorTransform;
newColorTransform.color = colorChanger.cpColor.selectedColor;
activeItem.objectColor.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
currentHairColor = colorChanger.cpColor.selectedColor;
}

activeItem.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, colorActiveItemEvent);

TypeError: S Has No Properties
Hello Everyone

I have FlashChat with Voice running. Ever since I run the voice chat, my server just randomly freezes and stops responding. This seems to happen when the voice chat gets 3 or more users. So I checked the log and it was giving this error

Sending error message: C:Program FilesMacromediaFlash Media Server 2scriptlibcomponentsconnectionlight.asc: line 100: TypeError: s has no properties
Sending error message: Failed to execute method (ping).

What does that mean? How can I fix this problem?

Thanks

Error Message TypeError...
I am getting the following error when I run the movie at the end:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at MethodInfo-41()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch()

I checked the names are ok and I can't find anything else that could be wrong. Can somebody give me some suggestions where the error could be?



Thanks.

TypeError: Error #1009:
HI All,

I'm trying to follow a lesson in the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook and hitting a wall. This book is written for Flex Developers so the conversion to Flash is giving me some trouble (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).

So I've created a class:


Code:
package testing{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class RemoveChildExample extends Sprite{
private var _lable:TextField;
public function RemoveChildExample(){
_lable = new TextField();
_lable.text = "Some Text";
addChild(_lable);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeLable);
}
public function removeLable(event:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(_lable);
}
}
}
And a FLA File


Code:
import testing.RemoveChildExample;
var myText:RemoveChildExample = new RemoveChildExample();
this.addChild(myText);
And I get this error:


Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at testing::RemoveChildExample()
at CircleText_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Any thoughts?

Thanks.

TypeError: Error #1010
hello,

i keep getting this error:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at jxcs_index_fla::mov_galleryMenSs0708_5/loadMainImage()

and it appears to be happening in this function:

function loadMainImage(event:MouseEvent):void {
deActivateRollOver();
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(imageArray[0]);
event.target.imageHolder.load(imageRequest);
}

this is the line of code i use to set the listener:

galleryImage00_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLIC K, loadMainImage);

the strange thing is that if i change "event.target" in the function to "galleryImage00_mc" it works perfectly. But i need to use event.target so i can use the function for others.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

TypeError: Error #1009
I'm new to Flash, and ActionScript3.

I'm trying to create a very basic "slideshow", when I compile, it runs, but I get the following error.


Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at lab7_fla::MainTimeline/lab7_fla::frame1451()
On that frame is the following ActionScript.


Code:
menu2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,menu2Listener);
next2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,next2Listener);
prev2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,prev2Listener);

function menu2Listener(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2,"Menu");
}

function next2Listener(event:MouseEvent):void {
nextFrame();
}

function prev2Listener(event:MouseEvent):void {
prevFrame();
}
What's weird is, the nextFrame is working, but not the prevFrame button.
I am using scenes, and the scenes are being displayed properly.

My only problem is the error, and the prevFrame not working.

Please help out this AS3 n00b.

Most Annoying Error: TypeError
Hi all,

I'm working on a quiz, I have an xml file with all the questions and answers in, which can be found here, including the fla and the as3 file: http://users.pandora.be/Jinx-/xml/
The content doesn't really matter, but it's quite obvious anyway.
As you can see, the xml contains 17 questions, and I need to extract 10 random questions from the file

These are the steps I'm taking to get 10 random questions (The error will be at the end of this post)

Step 1: Declare variables

Code:
private var fullXML:XML;
private var xmlLoader:URLLoader;
private var vrg1XML:XML;
private var vrg2XML:XML;
private var vrg3XML:XML;
private var vrg4XML:XML;
private var vrg5XML:XML;
private var vrg6XML:XML;
private var vrg7XML:XML;
private var vrg8XML:XML;
private var vrg9XML:XML;
private var vrg10XML:XML;
private var xmlArray:Array;
Step 2: fill the vrgxXML with dummy xml

Code:
vrg1XML =
<vraag vrg="EMPTY">
<antwoord opl="EMPTY">EMPTY</antwoord>
<antwoord opl="EMPTY">EMPTY</antwoord>
<antwoord opl="EMPTY">EMPTY</antwoord>
</vraag>

This for all 10
Step 3: Load the quiz.xml file

Code:
private function loadXML():void{
var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../xml/quiz.xml");
xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener);
xmlLoader.load(xmlRequest);
}

private function completeListener(e:Event):void {
fullXML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
fillXmlArray();
generateQuestions();
}
Step 4: Fill the array with the xml dummies

Code:
private function fillXmlArray():void{
xmlArray = new Array();
xmlArray.push(vrg1XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg2XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg3XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg4XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg5XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg6XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg7XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg8XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg9XML);
xmlArray.push(vrg10XML);
}
Step 5: Generate the 10 random questions, this is where it goes wrong

Code:
private function generateQuestions():void{
//Loop 10 times for 10 questions
for(var i=0; i<10; i++){
//Generate a random number
var rndNumber:Number = Math.random();
//Get the corresponding xml out of the array
var xml:XML = xmlArray[i];
//Devide 100 by the amount of questions from the XML
var partitions:Number = 100 / fullXML.children().length();
//Go through all the questions from the XML
for (var j=1; j<fullXML.children().length()+1; j++){
var compare:Number = (j * partitions)/100;
if(rndNumber < compare){
var bool:Boolean = false;
for(var k=0; k < xmlArray.length; k++){
//Check if the question isn't already picked
if(fullXML.vraag[j].@vrg == XML(xmlArray[k]).@vrg){
//If it is already been picked
bool = true;
}
}
if(bool == true){
//restart this loop
i--;
}
else{
//set the xml
xml = fullXML.vraag[j];
xmlArray[i] = xml;
j = fullXML.children().length()+ 10;
}
}
}
}
for(var l=0; l < xmlArray.length; l++){
//Check the questions
trace(XML(xmlArray[l]).toXMLString());
}
}
So here's the problem:
If I execute the following code, it might happen that it actually returns 10 random questions, however this almost never happens, most of the time I get this error:

Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at Quiz/::generateQuestions()
at Quiz/::completeListener()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
Now when I disable the text in red, I don't get the error anymore but for some reason it doesn't always return 10 questions but sometimes 9.

I really have no clue what's so wrong abut my code, if anyone has an idea then please tell me.

Wouter

// doError - This event handler tells the document class to change

public function doError(anEvent:Event):void

}
Here is the part of code from the dandelion AS file:

Code:
public function doAddedToStage(anEvent:Event):void

update();
}
And here is the code from the Document constructor as file:

Code:
public function initLevel():void
{
// Tell all the managers to init level data
pDandelionManager.initLevel();
pButterflyManager.initLevel();
pBulletManager.initLevel();


// Start the timer to do game updates
pUpdateTimer.start();
}
and lastly the code from the dandelion manager AS file:

Code:
public function initLevel():void
{
for (var x:int = 0; x < pCount; x++)
{
var tempPoint:Point = new Point(GameMath.randRange(0, pDocClass.stage.stageWidth), GameMath.randRange(0,pDocClass.stage.stageHeight));
var tempDandelion:Dandelion = new Dandelion(getProto(pDandelionProto.length - 1),this, tempPoint);
pDandelions.push(tempDandelion);
pDocClass.addChildAt(tempDandelion, 1);
}
}

Could anyone give me an idea as to why these errors are appearing?

TypeError: Error #2007
I was about to post a problem I was having with my gallery script, that was working in firefox but not in IE.
i've tracked the error down to an error in my XML parsing script, which is throwing the error TypeError: Error #2007 - in IE only...


ActionScript Code:
XMLloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, ParseGallery);

function ParseGallery(E:Event) {
    try {
      var XMLGallery:XML = new XML(XMLloader.data)
      var PictureNodes:XMLList = XMLGallery.children();
      var item:XML = new XML()
      for each(item in PictureNodes) {
        URLS.push(item.@url);
      }
      NextGalleryItem()
    } catch(e_) { error(new Event("An Error Occured within ParseGallery:" + e_) )};
}

XMLloader.load(new URLRequest("top_gallery.xml"));


I was about to ask for help, while, in the process of checking EVERYTHING thoroughly, i found that my XML file was to blame, the very first line was

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
but adding a space before the final ? making it

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
sorted it out, just incase anyone else seems to be having some strange problems like that.

Edit: I've just removed the space to try and break it again... and it works in IE again... i am very confused

TypeError: Error #1009
Hello. I am getting a null object reference error on a button in Adobe Flash CS3 (ActionScript 3.0). The button is placed in frame 1 and has small roll over and roll out animations. When the button is clicked, flash resumes play at a point further down the timeline. I can avoid the error by removing the roll out animation or by having the gotoAndPlay command point to a frame earlier than the frame when the button was clicked. How can I change the command to keep the roll out animation and still have the button function as a skip button? Thank you.

AS 3.0 Command:
myBtn.buttonMode = true;
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,animIn );
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,animOut );

TypeError: Error #1009:
So, I am trying to write a pretty basic XML importer for a flash site i'm working on, and I have gotten it to work in a closed environment. I'm currently working on a class though, and whenever I try to make the proper class calls to use it from the main class, I get the TypeError: Error #1009: thrown.

Here is the code, if anyone could take a look it it would rock my face off, I've tried everything I can think of, and as I am just learning AS3 in Flex, I am not sure what the error even means. As far as I can tell it should work -shrugs-

This is the temporary AS3 class I am using to see if this thing works, all the output is via trace.


ActionScript Code:
package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;

    public class XMLLoaderTest extends Sprite
    {
        public function XMLLoaderTest()
        {
            var testvar:XML_Loader = new XML_Loader();
            testvar.loadXMLdata( "Sanctuary_units.xml" );
            var testArray:Array = testvar.getChildrenByAttribute( "one" );
            trace(testArray);
        }
    }


and here is the relevant part of the XML import class, this is not the final version but I need to get this working before I can start adding features and polishing it.

ActionScript Code:
package {
   
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    import flash.utils.*;

    public class XML_Loader {
       
        private var XMLData:XML;
       
        public function XML_Loader() {
        }
        private function handleComplete( event:Event ):void {
            try {
                XMLData = new XML( event.target.data );
            } catch ( e:TypeError ) {
                trace( "Could not parse XML file" );
                trace( e.message );
            }
        }
        public function getChildrenByAttribute( attribute:String ):Array {
       
        var childArray:Array;
       
            for each( var element:XML in XMLData.elements() ){
                if(element.@number == attribute){
                    for each(var children:XML in element.elements() ) {
                        childArray.push( children );
                    }
                }
            }
        return childArray; 
        }
        public function loadXMLdata( filename:String ):void {
            var XMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            XMLLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
            XMLLoader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete );
            XMLLoader.load( new URLRequest(filename) );
        }
    }
}

Both AS files are in the same directory, so i'm not using any package declarations atm, that will all change later.

Thanks for any help, put almost 6 hours into trying to fix this, nothing yet.

TypeError: Error #1010, Why?
What am i doing wrong in this piece of code:


ActionScript Code:
private function ladenVanThumbnails() {

TypeError: Error #1009
I have a problem. I have created a loop which workes fine. But in that loop I would like to be able to click on my spaceship to then go to a specified frame. I get the error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at solarsystem_fla::spaceship_20/solarsystem_fla::frame20()

I'm sure this is a simple mistake, but I've tared my head apart and cannot find a solution! Please help me quickly!

This is my code:



ActionScript Code:
//in frame 10:

var loop:Number=0;





ActionScript Code:
//in frame 20:

loop = loop + 1;
if(loop < 3) {
    this.gotoAndPlay(10);
} else {
    this.stop();
}

 var shipArray:Array = [spaceship2, spaceship3, spaceship4, spaceship5 ];
 var i:Number;
 for(i = 0; i< shipArray.length; i++){
     var movieClipNames = shipArray[i];
     movieClipNames.buttonMode = true;
     movieClipNames.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, space);
 }


function space(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.gotoAndPlay(21);

TypeError: Error #1009
Hello,

I'm trying to modify the text in a dynamic text field. The particular value doesn't matter, I'm just trying to get any value in there.

I have the text box in my flash worksheet (named LivesText), and when I try to access it in my .as file using this code:
LivesText.text = new String("hello");
I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Does anyone know why this is occuring? Thanks for any help!

Essentially, I'm trying to recreate something I've seen on the MediaStorm website http://mediastorm.org/0024.htm a scrolling banner of images, each of which acts like a button to click through to a video player that I've managed to find.

TypeError: Error #1009:
Hello

I have made a movie clip where I have used 3 buttons. This is for a drop down menu where top1_btn is the main button

My action script in the movie clip says the following

stop();
this.top1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OV ER , open);
function open (e) {
gotoAndStop(10);
}

This works and I can see the to remaining buttons

When I drag my movie clip to the stage I want to click on the buttons from the movie clip and go to a specific frame. I have made the following AS

this.Service.roller_btn.addEventListener(MouseEven t.CLICK, run);

function run(e) {
gotoAndStop("20");
}

This should make the it go to frame 20, but I get the error

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Menu_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Should I use another to call my button from the movie clip?

Thanks

TypeError: Error #1009
I keep getting this error.


Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at SpaceShooter/::addEnemy()
at SpaceShooter$iinit()
It is caused by this function:


ActionScript Code:
private function addEnemy(x:int, y:int):void{
    var newEnemy = new Enemy();
           
    // x & y position
    newEnemy.x = x;
    newEnemy.y = y;
           
    // random movement
    var dx:Number = (Math.random() * 2) - 1;
    var dy:Number = (Math.random() * 2) - 1;
           
        // add to stage and array
    addChild(newEnemy);
    enemysArray.push({enemy:newEnemy, dx:dx, dy:dy});
}

When i remove this code:

ActionScript Code:
enemysArray.push({enemy:newEnemy, dx:dx, dy:dy});
The error is gone.

How can I fix this?
The error means that i'm referencing to something that isn't there but how can that be? I created it at the top

I have more functions but I am having trouble with nested classes.
Here is the code in the document class.

fillTheBoard();

When I use the buildXML function in my constructor, everything works fine. but when I try to use buildLogo it gives me this error..

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

could it be addChild without a reference since I assume that this nested class couldn't access the stage? Or something like that.. gurus help please

and thanks in advance.

this is a great forum!

All I have on my stage is one MovieClip, instance-named "box_mc".

On Frame 1 (which is the only frame out there), I have this code:


ActionScript Code:
import com.placement.LiquidLayout;var newAligner:LiquidLayout = new LiquidLayout(box_mc, 300, 300);addChild(newAligner);


And in my class file (which is based on the StageManager class by noponies.com) I have this code:


ActionScript Code:
package com.placement {    import flash.display.*;    import flash.display.StageAlign;    import flash.display.StageScaleMode;    import flash.events.Event;        public class LiquidLayout extends Sprite {                //declaring the variables        private var managedObject:InteractiveObject;        private var xAxis:Number;        private var yAxis:Number;                //building the constructor        public function LiquidLayout(target:InteractiveObject, xpos:Number, ypos:Number) {                        //getting local variables            managedObject = target;            xAxis = xpos;            yAxis = ypos;                        //executing the actions            setLayout();            stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeListener);                    }                private function resizeListener() {            setLayout();                    }                private function setLayout() {            managedObject.x = xAxis;            managedObject.y = yAxis;        }            }    }


And when I test my movie, everything works correctly, though I get this in the Output window:


Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at com.placement::LiquidLayout$iinit()
at test_fla::MainTimeline/test_fla::frame1()
Can anyone explain, why this happens, and how I should fix the class file to have no such warnings in the future.

Thanks in advance, Here are the source files:

at folio_fla::MainTimeline/folio_fla::frame1()
I'm getting the above error and I have no idea why. I don't know what it means because this is my first stab at AS3.

I've got a main fla that has a menu in it that is grabbing ext swf's and loading them onto the stage when a menu item is selected. It loads the first item in the menu automatically.

One of the ext. swf's is a gallery. When i set it to be the first item in the menu it loads automatically and perfectly. but when i select it again or set it to any other menu item i get the above error when a menu button is selected in an attempt to load it.

Your thoughts? Is it a type error as in type face or font?

TypeError: Error #1010: ..WHY?
Hello, I'm just starting with AS3 and am confused by this error:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at com.

It occurs when I don't remove an event listener that is called for Event.COMPLETE. I am building an app that loads external (local) swf files. When they complete loading, unless i remove the event listener for Event.COMPLETE within the handler function, it calls that error.

Thats fine with me, but I just want to understand what's going on.

Thanks.

TypeError: Error #1009:
Hi all, hope everything is well...

I'm currently working on a new project and using a loader container, however I seem to be getting this error message:

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

when the main.swf is ran it works fine, the problem seems to come when i try to load in the main.swf through the loader container.

This probably makes no sense, i'll be here all night and tomorrow if anyone can help and i can explain more.

I have a loader container that loads in the main.swf, within this is have the code:

Code:

import com.loading.LoadSWF;

var loader:LoadSWF = new LoadSWF("main.swf", true);
loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", onComplete, false, 0, true);
addChild(loader);

function onComplete(evt:Event):void

         myContextMenu.customItems.push(_featuredCollection);
      }
      
      private function addBackground ():void
      {
         // Add the public variables to the stage to create the background
         addChild (bg);
         bg.gotoAndPlay(2);
         
         // Set the attrbutes for the background
         bg.x = stage.stageWidth /2
         bg.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
         
         // Use the tweener function to create the effect on enterframe
         //Tweener.addTween (bg,  {x:stage.stageWidth / 2, y:stage.stageHeight / 2, time:2.5, alpha:1, transition:"easeInOut"} );
      }
      
      private function alignStage (event:Event):void
      {
         // Organise the display objects when the stage is resized
         bg.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
         bg.y = stage.stageHeight /2;
      }
   }
}

I'm guessing it's something that im not declaring on the stage...

Thanks for any help

Garfty!!

Help With Condition - TypeError: Error #1009:
Hi, I would like to request help coming up with the correct condition to check to see if myloader is loaded. If it is loaded then unload it and proceed to news.. If its not then simply continue to news.

Thought I had it, but it causes the error below during navagation, and now my news button is not working? Thanks in advance for your valued time~

TypeError When Migrating Code To A Class
Hi,
I'm trying to modify some particle generating code from Seb Lee-Delisle by moving it off the timeline and into a class. On the timeline, the code runs great. I want to control when the particle fires, so I moved it into a document class which calls Seb's class. No prob so far.

But when the code in the document class runs as a constructor function I get the following error when it begins to build the particles: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert global@3385101 to flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer.
What am I referencing wrong?
notes:
The error happens at var particle:Particle = new Particle(Spark, this, 60, 400);
Spark is an embedded asset with class "Spark" in the .fla library

TypeError: Error #1006: Value Is Not A Function.
Hi there. I'm trying to do a very simple urlRequest ...

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadCSS);
loader.load(new URLRequest("htmlStyles.css"));

But I'm getting this error message ...

TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
at url_loader/::onLoadCSS()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()

I've checked and double-checked the code and it is fine. The error suggests problems with the EventDispatcher class itself. Anyone have any ideas at all?

TypeError: Error #1009 (loaded SWF)
I'm pulling out my hair on this one!

I'm just starting a site (full-Flash site) using CS3 and AS3. I'm pretty much accustom to the new AS3 changes. I built a rough structure to make sure the way I wanted to set the site up would work (loading in external SWFs, etc.). The tests worked.

Now, I'm going in to make some things real, and I'm getting this error as soon as an external SWF loads in:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at test_fla::MainTimeline/test_fla::frame2()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried narrowing it down, couldn't find the exact culprit (had to remove every ounce of ActionScript before it started to function again). So I started to rebuild that movie entirely -- cleared out the Library and deleted every layer. Didn't work. Couldn't even add a stop(); action in Frame 1.

Then I started completely fresh File > New, rebuilt again. I tested after every single change. I finally built it up to the point where I first tested the original, and it worked. So, then I added a couple more things tested again, and got the error again. Ahh, so I removed EXACTLY what I had just added. Tested again. SAME ERROR -- now it won't go away no matter what I remove!

Crazier yet is that I can still load in my other test SWF files and they have actions in them, and they're set up the exact same way -- but they work...

The whole site is new, so every SWF is CS3/AS3. I'm not even doing anything crazy, so I'm getting pretty frustrated trying to build an all AS3 site and I can't even do basic stuff....

I can upload/email the FLA files in question if anyone has time to look...

Thanks,
Brandon

TypeError Issue And Timer Question
Hey all new to the forumns and learning AS3 which has been fun, and challenging at the same time. I have a slideshow with images and text driven by xml. I recently added a Timer variable to make the slides rotate automatic but it's given me this error in the output window.

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at cycler_timer_fla::MainTimeline/slideIt()
at cycler_timer_fla::MainTimeline/onTimer()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::tick()

Here is the code that I am using. Also I need to have the timer variable set to 0 when the user clicks either the next or previous button, so that when the user choses a slide they have the 7 seconds to read it. (make sense?) How would I do that in this code.

Thanks, look forward to adding the site to my list of daily reading.
