Having trouble with adobe flash cs6 accepting a variable for the scene calling gotoandplay

ive got a simple quiz going and i seem to have hit a bit of a brick wall, in order to avoid having a seperate wrong answer scene per question i decided to impliment a simple history system, with a string variable defined on the first scene as a global variable and set at every question, problem is whenever the function to go back is called flash spits out an error saying it cant accept a variable for this parameter, but surely that cant be right. i dont understand where im going wrong and as this is coursework i need to fix it quickly. any chance of help?

The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope.  This could mean that the object....
- is declared but not instantiated
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.
If you are going to continue pursuing this using AS3 please start a new posting in the AS3 forum...

  • Having trouble downloading Adobe Flash CS6 trial

    I'm having trouble downloading the trial for Flash CS6, I download Adobe Dowload Assistant and I click on "Open" when it tells me to, but then it says "Sorry, an error has occured. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." I've tried dowloading it several times, restarting my computer, everything.  I have a Mac OS X v10.7.5

    Could you test with the below 2 steps first?
    1> Install latest AIR runtime(http://get.adobe.com/air/)
    2> With latest AIR runtime installed, re-install AIR applications
    Another guide from colleage:
    1> Make sure you uninstall the AIR application(some drops from the prerelease program of Adobe). 
    2> Install the latest AIR application again.
    The reason is that the same application exported with different certificates, and the new one conflicts with the old one.

  • Still having trouble with Adobe Flash

    I believe that I have interrogated all of the FAQ's and followed the help suggestions.
    i have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash 3 times.
    I am still getting the message "you need Adobe Flash to play this video".
    ShockWave enabled.
    You Tube works fine.
    My system:
    Windows 7 (Home Premium)
    Flash player version: 11.9.900.152
    Internet Explorer
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Since Gamers and those who watch online videos are having trouble with Adobe Flash Player 10, why am I, who does neither, having the beast crash all the time?

    Adobe Flash Player seems to wait until I am near the end of the Yahoo comics section before it crashes, but not always, sometimes it just seems to have a mind of its own and crashes indiscriminately.

    As I am the person having this problem, I am at a loss as to what to say in Reply. I thought I was making progress just by noting that video watchers and gamers were having this problem. Then I thought that it might be worthy of note that it seemed to happen more often when I was reading the yahoo comics section, I happen to like the comics. So, I suppose that my question should be, Am I being discriminated against because I do not watch online videos, play games and happen to enjoy the comics?

  • Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

    Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

    Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
    I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
    When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
    If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
    I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
    If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
    Their player, plays the video without a problem!

    You'll continue to have trouble, because...
    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.
    These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

  • Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."

    Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."  My computer tells me it is installed and running.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    7. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Am still having trouble downloading Adobe Flash Player.

    Am still having trouble downloading Adobe Flash Player.

    Count your blessings. You're better off without it.
    If you insist upon having Flash Player, there is one and only one URL from which to download it:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    You must also enable plug-ins in Safari. Make your Safari Preferences look like this:
    FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:

  • Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1.  Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed

    Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1.  Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed.  I've tried quitting Safari.  Have not uninstalled currently Adobe as yet.  How to fix?

    Sorry, when I try to install Flash Player 17.0.0.134, it will begin initialing, then stop saying "Installation Failed" and to press "Finish".  It then directs me to troubleshooting.  I made sure I quit Safari as per their instructions, but have not gone as far as "uninstalling" my current Flash Player 16.0.0.305, because it looks like I will screw something up in the process.
    Hope that information helps.
