Error #1010: A Term Is Undefined And Has No Properties - Useless Error Message
I hate runtime errors!

ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at Image/setImage()
at Instructions/preNavigateCallback()
at Instructions/nextSlide()

The issue is that I deleted a movieclip from the stage, but the code referencing that clip was not changed.

Why can't the error say something more useful, for example, including the line number, or the actual "term"?

ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at "container.guide.visible"
at Image/setImage() : line 214
at Instructions/preNavigateCallback() : line 186
at Instructions/nextSlide() : line 103

Does anyone know why it is so damn vague!? I realise that maybe line numbers probably get lost once compiled, but these kinds of errors always cost me so much debugging time, and are very frustrating - is it impossible to provide the "term" though?.

And does anyone have any good advice on how to avoid them, or track them down with the limited amount of info supplied?

Many thanks,
Dave

Hi,
I'm processing basic customer data into a form. Certain fields are mandatory and I test for nulls. The null checker initially worked - but no longer. Now if I leave the field blank it gets populated by an "undefined" and the null checker doesn't catch it. This is my code:

function formcheck1 () {
if ((((email == null)) || (email.length<1)) || (email == "ERROR! Address not valid")) {
this.eemail._visible = true;
action = "";
}
if (!validate(email)) {
this.EnterTitle._visible = true;
this.eemail._visible = true;
action = "";
}
if (fname == null) {
this.EnterTitle._visible = true;
this.efname._visible = true;
action = "";
}
if (lname == null) {
this.EnterTitle._visible = true;
this.elname._visible = true;
action = "";
}
if (address1 == null) {
this.EnterTitle._visible = true;
this.eaddress1._visible = true;

[F8] Undefined Error - Please Help
Hi guys! I'm tearing my hair out with this one!
Basically, I'm creating a small "Click the Country" game.
I have 10 frames with questions on, and have created an array, which will chose the 10 questions in a random order without repeated frames.
I've taken actionscript from this topic;

http://www.actionscripts.org/forums/...6526#post46526

When the user gets the country correct, they will be taken to a "correct" screen, and the user has to click "continue". The continue button has this script;

Code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay (randArray[frame]);
//testing purposes:
trace (randArray[frame]);
frame++;
}

When clicked, it comes up as undefined. I think it may be something to do with the randArray. Here's the script from the main timeline

Code:
_root.frame=0;
// populates an array called countArray with the possible frame numbers from 11 - 20
num = 21
countArray= new Array;
for (i=11; i<num; i++) {
countArray.splice(num, 0, i);
}
//test to check array is correct
trace(countArray.toString());
//randomly shuffles array and returns as custom defined new array
Array.prototype.shuffle = function (secondArray){
interimArray = new Array();
arrayCount = ((this).length);
deleteCount = ((secondArray).length);
secondArray.splice(0, deleteCount);
//copies values from original array into interim array so that original data is not lost
for (a=0; a<arrayCount; a++) {
value = this[a];
interimArray.splice(a, 0, value);
}
//chooses random array data * copies into first position in new array,
// deletes that data from interim array so it can't be chosen again
for (a=0; a<10; a++) {
num = (random(interimArray.length));
value = interimArray[num];
secondArray.splice(1, 0, value);
interimArray.splice(num, 1);
}
}
// here we tell Flash to perform the array shuffle on
//your "countArray" and to call the new Array to be populated
//with the 10 random numbers "randArray"
countArray.shuffle(randArray=new Array());
trace (randArray.toString());

Can anybody help me please?!

When I run it I keep getting an 'undefined' error, does anyone have any ideas as I'm struggling...

Undefined Var Error
I have been taking scripting I am familiar with from AS2 and making adjustments to AS3, just very simple files. Of course, I run into problems and through research, I have managed to solve most them, but I have a problem that has me absolutely stumped.

I created a file with a simple timer that when it reaches a certain time moves to a different frame:

stop();
var startTime:Number= 0;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reset);
function reset(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
startTime = getTimer();
}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, showTime);
function showTime(myevent:Event):void {
var currentTime = getTimer();
var elapsedTime = (currentTime - startTime) / 1000;
myDisplay_txt.text = elapsedTime;
if (elapsedTime >= 5){
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

All is well and good, but when I try to combine it with a file with has score buttons, I get an error.

stop();
var currentScore = 0;
score.text = "0";
function scorept(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
score.text = currentScore+=1;
}
scoreOne_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOW N, scorept);

function scoreFivept(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
score.text = currentScore+=5;
}

scoreFive_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DO WN, scoreFivept);

function scoreMinusFivept(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
score.text = currentScore-=5;

}

scoreMinusFive_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOU SE_DOWN, scoreMinusFivept);

function scoreMinusOnept(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
score.text = currentScore-=1;
}

scoreMinusOne_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUS E_DOWN, scoreMinusOnept);

var startTime:Number= 0;
startTime = getTimer();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, showTime);
function showTime(myevent:Event):void{
var currentTime = getTimer();
var elapsedTime = (currentTime - startTime) / 1000;
tme_txt.text = elapsedTime;
if (elaspsedTime >= 5){
gotoAndStop(3);
}
}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, winGame);
function winGame(myevent:Event):void {
if (currentScore >=20) {
gotoAndStop(4);
}
}

Now I get a compiler error:

1120: Access of undefined property elaspsedTime.

WTF? If I turn off the compiler strict mode, it will render, the score part works, but the timer just go on forever. The var for elapsedTime is RIGHT THERE!!

What the heck am I missing????

I'm trying to pull in a value from my XML doc and use it to load in a text file...I can trace the value fine but am losing it somehow in my load function...

Code:
for (var j = -1; j<i; j++) {
loadMovie(image_path, contentMC.itemsMC[name].picHolder);
contentMC.itemsMC[name].myLink = link_to;
contentMC.itemsMC[name].myTitle = case_title;
contentMC.itemsMC[name].onRollOver = function() {
casetitle.htmlText = this.myTitle;
};
contentMC.itemsMC[name].onRelease = function() {
trace(this.myLink);
var lvArticleContent:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lvArticleContent.onData = function(sHTMLData:String) {
_parent.tArticle.htmlText = sHTMLData;
};
var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
cssStyles.onLoad = function() {
_parent.tArticle.styleSheet = this;
lvArticleContent.load("studies/"+myLink+".html");
};
cssStyles.load("studies/styles.css");
};
}
so I can trace "myLink" but in the cssStyles.onLoad function it gets lost...anyone know what I'm doing wrong...it's probably a path problem...function inside a function or something like that...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Undefined Error
Hello all,

When creating flash movies, I get undefined for all my text fields with external variables whenever a visitor doesn't type in www at the beginning of the url. Such as: domainname.com

But when a user enters the www such as: www.domainname.com, the flash movie works fine and the variables load just fine.

Is this a common error? What might I be doing wrong? And is there any way of fixing this?

Thanks

In the above part code i have declared iNumOfSym as a string... .. but when i run this code and trace iNumOfSym.. i get undefined as the output.. why?? how should i fix it??

Hi, I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to flash(but learning fast). I have an issue with the code below. This has been constructed from 2 tutorials I have found... 1 to load xml and the other to do a simple slideshow. If I seperate the xml bit and the slide show bits they work fine. If I put them together it does not work. It seems to says that the XML is undefined. It doesnt go into the loop that puts the data in the array(I have debugged that much). Any help would be appreciated... Very frustrating.... I'm sure it's something stupid I'm doing.

var picArray:Array = new Array(); //array to hold the image and all of its attributes
var thisNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode();
var imageXML:XML = new XML();
imageXML.ignoreWhite = true;
imageXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
for(var i:Number = 0;i<imageXML.firstChild.childNodes.length;i++) {
thisNode = imageXML.firstChild.childNodes[i];
picArray.push([thisNode.attributes.img,thisNode.attributes.Captio n,thisNode.attributes.link]);
}
//When the xml is completely loaded,
//delete the xml (since its now contained in picArray)
//and continue to the slideshow
delete imageXML;
}
imageXML.load("pg7.xml");

this.fadeSpeed = 20;
this.pIndex = 0;
// MovieClip methods ----------------------------------
// d=direction; should 1 or -1 but can be any number
//loads first image automatically
loadMovie(picArray[0][0],_root.photo);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
// make sure pIndex falls within picArray.length
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%picArray.length;
if (this.pIndex<0) {
this.pIndex +=picArray.length;
}
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {
if (this.photo._alpha>this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo._alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadPhoto();
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {
// specify the movieclip to load images into
var p = _root.photo;
//------------------------------------------
p._alpha = 0;
p.loadMovie(picArray[this.pIndex][0]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
var i, l, t;
l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
if (t>0 && t == l) {

} else {

My mp3Player.as (for me it's Jukebox.as) document, is EXACTLY the same as Lee's. At one point I even got so deperate as to copy and paste the XML file over to mine, but even that didn't work! I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here; I haven't even uploaded it onto my server yet.

I did the Flash mp3 tutorials on this site and it works perfectly on my computer. However, when I upload the files to my server it stops working and gives me a "undefined-undefined" error where the artists name should be and doesn't play the mp3. The directories are exactly the same and I've tripled checked everything. Is there some code that I'm suppose to add or am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.

Here is a link to the site (it's still under construction)
http://www.3sonsproductions.com/v2/index.html

Code:

// Load the songs XML
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<nodes.length;i++)
{
sa.push(new Song(nodes[i].attributes.url, nodes[i].attributes.artist, nodes[i].attributes.track));
}
playSong();
}

xml.load("songs.xml");

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<songs>
<songs url="mp3/Intro.mp3" artist="Dim Sweets" track="Intro"/>
<songs url="mp3/Muggin_Me.mp3" artist="Dim Sweets & Dead Arm" track="Muggin Me"/>
<songs url="mp3/Paramount.mp3" artist="Dead Arm, KB, & Cleo" track="Paramount"/>
<songs url="mp3/Jet_Black.mp3" artist="Dead Arm" track="Jet Black"/>

UNDEFINED Error In External Loading
I am trying to load variables from an external file. I have tried .txt and .php and have gone through every tutorial about it I can.

In my movie I have a dynamic chat box instance called excomment1. I have an external php file with just text in it....http://themcclellanfamily.net/read.php (also tried making it read.txt)
contents are as follows
&excomments1=Test
(I have also tried &excomments=Test and excomments=Test)

Now I want the file to load in the text file. I am using this code...
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){

placeTheDataIntoTheRightPlace();
};
myData.load("http://themcclellanfamily.net/read.php");
placeTheDataIntoTheRightPlace = function(){
excomments1.text = myData.excomments1;
};

(when I changed the &excomments1 to &excomments I also changed the myData.excomments1; to match...also tried myData.load("read.php"); and myData.load("/read.php")

Every single time I either get nothing or undefined. I worked on this for 4 hours and can't get it to work. Check out http://www.themcclellanfamily.net/ca...&comments=test for the test. It is SUPPOSED to display near the end when the box shows up.

Any ideas? Thank you so much!

Access Of An Undefined Property Error
I keep getting 66 errors of "1120: Access of undefined property" for like different properties/variables i am using in a class.

I am not sure why i am getting them. I am importing my class correctly cause if i comment out everything and just put a trace statement in the constructor it traces out fine.

I have attached the flash file and the classes in a zip file.

can someone explain my problem and help me fix it? I have searched all over and can't figure out why im getting this error.

Undefined Property (error:1120)
I'm trying to move to 3.0 oop. It's not going so hot. I'm trying to create a simple button and I'm at the up/down state stage. My strategy is very simple, but I can't even make the listener work. I've tried several different approaches. I don't understand why this won't work, but I expect it will be pretty obvious to some of you. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is the code with comments. I'll also attach the .as and .fla.

Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class upButton extends Sprite{
//upTarget is the container holding the button images. upTarget "listens"
public function upButton():void{
var upTarget:Sprite = new Sprite();
upTarget.graphics.lineStyle(2,0x95ADE5);
upTarget.graphics.beginFill(0xb9dafb);
upTarget.graphics.drawRoundRect(0.6,0.5,14,15,2,2);
upTarget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,uPressed);
upTarget.buttonMode = true;
upTarget.useHandCursor = true;
addChild(upTarget);

//upFillDown hides behind the upFillup image.
var upFillDown:Sprite = new Sprite();
upFillDown.graphics.lineStyle(2,0x95ADE5);
upFillDown.graphics.beginFill(0xb9dafb);

Undefined Property Error With Buttons
Hello,

I've made a movie clip that's the exact size of the stage I'm using in Flash. I want to make it clickable, and when it clicks, I want a 'jumping' boolean variable to turn true.

Right now I have the movie clip 'btn' set up on the stage. I have two classes, a main class, and a class for the character who will jump when the background is pressed. I have an event listener in the character class and a function that should make it jump, but I am getting this error:

1120: Access of undefined property btn.

ActionScript Code:
public function Character() {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,checkJumping);
}

public function checkJumping(event:MouseEvent):void {
jumping = true;
}

There are the portions of the code I'm having problems with. The movie clip has the instance name 'btn', so that can't be the problem.

Thanks.

Undefined Error Preloader Help Needed
My AS 1.0 preloader code was set to work just fine using Flash 6 in AS 1.0 and now I'm using the same code with a few slight updates I've added for AS 2.0 in Flash 8 and still having problems with an "undefined" error. I'm obviously missing something with variables.., yes?

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this problem!

Attach Code

Frame 1

var totalmovie:Number = this.getBytesTotal();
var totalloaded:Number = this.getBytesLoaded();
if (totalloaded / totalmovie > .75) {
gotoAndPlay("loaded");
}

Frame 2

var percentloaded:Number = Math.round(totalloaded / totalmovie * 100);
var feedback:String = " " + percentloaded + "%";

Undefined Text Field Error
Hiya guys,

I've just changed over from using Flash 6 to Flash 7 and am having some teething problems. I have a lot of information being read from text files and brought into flash. This all worked fine when it was published as flash 6 but now I've changed it to flash 7 all I get in my text fields is the word UNDEFINED?

Here's the code I'm using...

on (release){
_root.field1.html = true;
_root.field1.htmlText = "Please Wait Loading...";
myLoadVar = new LoadVars();
myLoadVar.load("news.txt");
myLoadVar.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success == true) {
_root.field1.htmlText = myLoadVar.myText;
}
}
}

Any bright ideas?

Access Of Undefined Property Error?
I'm sure this is just a rookie mistake, but I'm getting the following error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property scaleX through a reference with static type Function.

from the following code:
public function zoomCounty():void
{
{
var countyTweenZoomX:Tween = new Tween(selectedCounty, "scaleX", Regular.easeInOut, selectedCounty.scaleX , (selectedCounty.scaleX +countyEndSize), framesForZoomIn, false);
var countyTweenZoomY:Tween = new Tween(selectedCounty, "scaleY", Regular.easeInOut, selectedCounty.scaleY , (selectedCounty.scaleY +countyEndSize), framesForZoomIn, false);
var countyTweenPositionX:Tween = new Tween(selectedCounty, "x", Regular.easeInOut, selectedCounty.x , countyEndPositionX, framesForZoomIn, false);
var countyTweenPositionY:Tween = new Tween(selectedCounty, "y", Regular.easeInOut, selectedCounty.y , countyEndPositionY, framesForZoomIn, false);

}

Error #1010: A Term Is Undefined
I keep getting this error in this function:

ActionScript Code:
private function search(e:Event):void { if (searchtxt.text) { searchResults_ar.splice(0); var searchCriteria:String = searchtxt.text.toLowerCase(); for (var i:int = 0; i< searchStrings_ar.length; i++) { var index = searchStrings_ar[i].toLowerCase().indexOf(searchCriteria); if (index > -1) { searchResults_ar.push(i + 1); } } if (searchResults_ar.length != 0) { // Clear the list component slideList.removeAll(); for (var k:int = 0; k < searchResults_ar.length; k++) { var j = searchResults_ar[k]; var slideTitle = xmlList[j].Title; var slideID = xmlList[j].@id; slideList.addItem({label:j + ". " + slideTitle, data:slideID}); } } else { trace("nothing found"); } } }

and I cannot figure it out! Everything compiles fine, the function even works the way it is suppose to, but every time I hit my search button, I get this error:

ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Vforum/::search()

Do you guys see anything that might be causing this?

Slideshow With FUse / Error 'undefined'
Hi,

Am just starting to get into both Flash and Fuse and wanted to create a small slideshow... But when I run it in the output window I get 'undefinied' if anyone has any ideas would be much appreciated!

Code:

import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;

ZigoEngine.register(Fuse, PennerEasing);

for (i=1;i<11;i++) {
var tmpClip:MovieClip = eval ("Pic" + i)
tmpClip.loadMovie("images/"+i+".jpg")
}

// Start the slideshow on a setInterval
var slideShowTimer:Number = setInterval(nextImage, 5000);
var counter:Number = 0;

// The workhorse function, gets called by setInterval, and should run every 5 seconds.
function nextImage():Void {
var img:MovieClip = images[counter % 3];
img.swapDepths(counter);
trace(img.getDepth());
img._alpha = 0;
img._visible = true;
img.alphaTo(100, 2, "easeOutSine", null, {func:cleanUpPrevious, args:[(counter-1) % 3]});
counter++;
}

// A function to be used in the tween callback to make the image that was just covered up invisible.
function cleanUpPrevious(image:Number):Void {
images[image]._visible = false;
}

// Show first image immediately.
nextImage();

Loading Random Image Error: Undefined?
I have a script on the first frame of my movie that is supposed to load a random image and also load the same correlating random text file with information for that image. The code grabs a variable from another text file that says the max number of images for the image folder so that I don't have to update the flash eveytime I add a new image/photo to the "backgrounds" folder.

Every now and again I get an error when the code tries to load an image/photo that is undefined (//pathtofolder/backgrounds/undefined.jpg). Why would it sometimes try and load an image titled "undefined.jpg"? Here is my code:

// create a clip to hold the image

this.createEmptyMovieClip("imageHolder", 2);

// selecting random images

myArray = new Array();

// loads text document containing number of images

loadVarsText = new LoadVars();

loadVarsText.load("info/number.txt");

//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:

loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {

if (success) {

trace("done loading");

// only after the data finishes loading, you-ll be able to use it

for (i = 1; i <= this.var1; i++) {

myArray.push('photo' + i);

}

randNumber = Math.round(Math.random() * myArray.length);

// load the image.

imageHolder.loadMovie("backgrounds/" + myArray[randNumber] + ".jpg");

} else {

trace("not loaded");

}

};

_______________________

I have two folders "backgrounds" and "info". The folder "backgrounds" has two photos in it (photo1.jpg and photo2.jpg). The info folder has the file "number.txt" in it with this text in the file:

&var1=2&

- Why am I receiving an undefined error? Please help... I am so close!

Thanks,

Java Popup Error: File Undefined
When Im trying to call a popup window in flash mx pro, a error appears saying "cannot find file:c//"my computer"/undefined. instead of test.html
But everything (movie.swf, movie.html, and test.html) are togheter in the same folder
this is the code in the button:

on (release) {getURL(javascriptopenNewWindow("test.html",'gtani me', 'height=200,width=250,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')
);
}

And this is the code I placed between the head tag inside the movie.html:

[CS3] Access Of Undefined Property WareBtn Error?
Hi there,

New to Flash and trying to figure out why I'm getting this error.

I have a movie clip called buttons on the stage and inside that I have two buttons that animate over time in and out. I'm guessing this error is because I have the actions in my main timeline and not in the buttons movie clip?! However when I put the actions in the movie clip I get this error:

Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at 2_test3_fla::buttons_4/2_test3_fla::frame2()
Here's my actionscript:

Code:
wareBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getMyUrlWare);

function getMyUrlWare(event: MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blah.com/warehousing.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
}

airBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getMyUrlAir);

function getMyUrlAir(event: MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blah.com/air.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
}
Oh and I have made sure all the buttons keyframes have the correct name e.g "wareBtn"

Any help would be much appreciated...

Thanks.

Access Of Undefined Property Error ... But, A Weird One.
So, I'm working on this website, and I've got 15 "popups" that come from buttons. When I try to debug this thing, it tells me that one of the 15 isn't defined, but it absolutely is, at least, in the same way that all the others are.

This is the error message:

1120: Access of undefined property ours_cd_popup_mc.

Error #1010: A Term Is Undefined And Has No Properties.
Hello There.

Please look the code that follows:

ActionScript Code:
function geraExpo():Array {
for (var i:uint = 1; i<total+1; i++) {
req.url = "images/expo/"+i+".jpg";
addChild(superSprite);
var expo:Expo = new Expo();
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
expo.name = "expo"+i;
loader.name = "loader"+i;
loader.load(req);
expo.x = 39;
expo.img_mc.alpha = 0;
expo.barra_mc.alpha = 0;
addChild(expo);
expo.img_mc.addChild(loader);
expo_array[i] = getChildByName("expo"+i);
superSprite.addChild(expo_array[i]);
if (i==1) {
expo.y = 207;
} else {
expo.y = posY+121;
}
posY = expo_array[i].y;
expo_array[i].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checaPosition);
}
return expo_array;
}
geraExpo();

Everything is working fine. But I have to get the entire array to compare the event target at its y position to make some actions. The code follows:

ActionScript Code:
function checaPosition(evt:Event):void {
//trace("nome = "+evt.target.name+" y = "+evt.target.y);
if(evt.target.y!=207) {
Tweener.addTween(evt.target.img_mc, {alpha:0, time:.5, transition:"easeoutexpo"});
Tweener.addTween(evt.target.barra_mc, {alpha:0, time:.5, transition:"easeoutexpo"});
} else {
var stageW:int = stage.stageWidth;
Tweener.addTween(evt.target.img_mc, {alpha:1, time:.5, transition:"easeoutexpo"});
Tweener.addTween(evt.target.barra_mc, {alpha:1, time:.5, transition:"easeoutexpo"});
evt.target.barra_mc.width = stageW;
}
}
When I click a button, previous and next, the sprite object named superSprite flows up or down. But here is the problem. I can't compare the array elements y position because they are inside the Sprite object ans its coordinates don't change. So i'm trying to return the array but i can't get the array. Someone have any idea to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Error 1120 Access Of Undefined Property....
I recently completed an Adobe video tutorial that showed me how to create a simple application using components: simple application

I'm trying to learn about document classes and how to use external .as files to control the movie, and so I figured this might be a good example to try using. However, I keep getting Compiler error 1120 on lines 11â€“4 (Access of undefined property dp); 16 (Access of undefined property myList and dp); 18 (Access of undefined property myList and announceSelect); 19 (Access of undefined property myButton and eatItem); and 22, 25, 26 (Access of undefined property myList). I looked at other 1120 problems on the forum and it seems like most of them are labeling-related, and from what I can tell, my labels are okay. Any help would be much appreciated!

The flash file consists of a list with the name myList and a button with the name myButton. The code from the .as file is as follows:

Attach Code

package {

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.events.*;
import flash.events.*;

dp.addItem( { label: "carrot" } );
dp.addItem( { label: "blueberry" } );
dp.addItem( { label: "turnip" } );

myList.dataProvider = dp;

GetDefinitionByName Throws Undefined Variable Error
Flash CS3 project. Can anyone explain this:

var ViewClass:Class = views.Login;
view = new ViewClass();
// ^works fine

var ViewClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("views.ViewLogin") as Class;
// ^throws error:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Login is not defined.
at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
...

My Login class is in a subdir named "views" and is defined like this:
package views{
public class Login extends View{}
}

I also added "views/" to the classpath, though I think that's not necessary.

So what am I missing that getDefinitionByName can't recognize my class in a package?
