Access Standard property(eg Fixed Height) of an iview in code

Hi ,
I have downloaded the standard URL iview's par(com.sap.portal.httpconnectivity.urliviews.par). I want to access the property 'Fixed Height' in the code. The component profile of the par doesnt contain the above attribute(and many other standard attributes which we get to see in the property editor of the iView). Can somebody please help me in this regard.
Regards,
Prathamesh

Hi,
I would suggest you to use the PcmConstants.ASPECT_ADMINISTRATION for Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT in environment.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_ADMINISTRATION);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
InitialContext iCtx = null;
String roleID = "pcd:portal_content/DanielContent/DanRole";
try{
    iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
    PcmAdminBase adminBase =
            (PcmAdminBase) iCtx.lookup(roleID);
    IPcdAttribute attribute = (IPcdAttribute) adminBase.getPcdContext().getAttributes("").get("com.sap.portal.iview.Height");
String height = attribute.get().toString();
Greetings,

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

Hi all,
I am new to ActionScript and Flash, and I am getting this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at jessicaclucas_fla::MainTimeline/stopResumescroll()
I have several different clips in one movie that have scrolling content. When I click a button to move to a different clip that doesn’t have a certain scroll, it gives me this error. I cannot figure out how to fix this. You can see the site I am working on: http://www.jessicaclucas.com. I would really appreciate some help! Thank you in advance. Here is the code:
//Import TweenMax and the plugin for the blur filter
import gs.TweenMax;
import gs.plugins.BlurFilterPlugin;
//Save the content’s and mask’s height.
//Assign your own content height here!!
var RESUMECONTENT_HEIGHT:Number = 1500;
var RESUME_HEIGHT:Number = 450;
//We want to know what was the previous y coordinate of the content (for the animation)
var oldResumeY:Number = myResumecontent.y;
//Position the content on the top left corner of the mask
myResumecontent.x = myResume.x;
myResumecontent.y = myResume.y;
//Set the mask to our content
myResumecontent.mask = myResume;
//Create a rectangle that will act as the Resumebounds to the scrollMC.
//This way the scrollMC can only be dragged along the line.
var Resumebounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(resumescrollMC.x,resumescrollMC.y,0,450);
//We want to know when the user is Resumescrolling
var Resumescrolling:Boolean = false;
//Listen when the user is holding the mouse down on the scrollMC

Hi again,
Thank you for helping. I really appreciate it! Would it be easier to say, if resumescrollMC exists, then execute these functions? I was not able to figure out the null statement from your post. Here is what I am trying (though I am not sure it is possible). I declared the var resumescrollMC, and then I tried to put pretty much the entire code into an if (resumescrollMC == true) since this code only needs to be completed when resumescrollMC is on the stage. It is not working the way I have tried, but I am assuming I am setting up the code incorrectly. Or, an if statement is not supposed to be issued to an object:
//Import TweenMax and the plugin for the blur filter
import gs.TweenMax2;
import gs.plugins.BlurFilterPlugin2;
//Save the content's and mask's height.
//Assign your own content height here!!
var RESUMECONTENT_HEIGHT:Number = 1500;
var RESUME_HEIGHT:Number = 450;
var resumescrollMC:MovieClip;
if (resumescrollMC == true) {
//We want to know what was the previous y coordinate of the content (for the animation)
var oldResumeY:Number = myResumecontent.y;
//Position the content on the top left corner of the mask
myResumecontent.x = myResume.x;
myResumecontent.y = myResume.y;
//Set the mask to our content
myResumecontent.mask = myResume;
//Create a rectangle that will act as the Resumebounds to the scrollMC.
//This way the scrollMC can only be dragged along the line.
var Resumebounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(resumescrollMC.x,resumescrollMC.y,0,450);
//We want to know when the user is Resumescrolling
var Resumescrolling:Boolean = false;
//Listen when the user is holding the mouse down on the scrollMC
resumescrollMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startResumescroll);
//Listen when the user releases the mouse button
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopResumescroll);
//This function is called when the user is dragging the scrollMC
function startResumescroll(e:Event):void {
//Set Resumescrolling to true
Resumescrolling = true;
//Start dragging the scrollMC
resumescrollMC.startDrag(false,Resumebounds);
//This function is called when the user stops dragging the scrollMC
function stopResumescroll(e:Event):void {
//Set Resumescrolling to false
Resumescrolling = false;
//Stop the drag
resumescrollMC.stopDrag();
//Add ENTER_FRAME to animate the scroll
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterResumeHandler);
//This function is called in each frame
function enterResumeHandler(e:Event):void {
//Check if we are Resumescrolling
if (Resumescrolling == true) {
//Calculate the distance how far the scrollMC is from the top

Standard report with fixed position.

Hello,
I have a page where i want the first report to have a fixed position.
I have 3 regions with reports, the first will only display product name and number, the next report will display sales. The last report is very long so I have to scroll quite a bit. That's why i want the first report with names to have a fixed position so i can see which product i'm looking at.
I have tried to make a copy of the standard report template, and in the before rows i have this code
<table class="t3standard" summary="Report" style="position:fixed;">
this didn't work
Is this a way of making changes to the report template? Is it possible to make theese kind of changes in the report template or du I have to go inside the CSS file to add position:fixed somewhere?
Anders

What browser(s) are you using? Win IE doesn't support fixed positioning :-(
How about setting a fixed height for the last report and making it scrollable using overflow: scroll? This would make the first 2 reports "fixed" by default...

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method

Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>. Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
Main menu buttons work.
Sub-menu animation works.
Slideshow works.
Can't get the sub-menu buttons to access the slideshow chapters.
I have created and solved about half a dozen errors, and each time I fix something, it just causes another point to break. I've gone around in circles for days, and not sure which was is up anymore. So, while the slideshow works independently of the rest of the content, and I think I have the parent referencing correct, the problem I am currently facing is thus:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at 03graphics_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I've browsed some other threads, and I think I know what the problem is. Since the sub-menu is animated, the buttons do not appear on frame 1 of the nested timeline, while the actionscript is on frame 1 of the main timeline - thus the code doesn't exist yet when I click the button.
Is this indeed the problem? If so, how do I go about fixing it?
Additionally, does the structure makes sense on how my site is organized? Is there an easier / cleaner way to code it?
(This thing is completely ghetto-rigged, I just need it to function - it's like my own little Millenium Falcon...)
Cheers,
Andy

Error: "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference"

I am getting the following action script error when I try to play my exported .swf in flash player 9. If I hit "continue" or "dismiss all" it plays the file fine. Is there a way to fix or at least supress this error message?

Hi Owen,
it looks like you have debug version of flash player installed. If you uninstall it through Control Panel and install regular (release) version from Adobe website, the message should go away.

Please help with Error #1009 Cannot access a property

Hi All,
I have a simple flash movie where play_btn should go to a label on a timeline where I have a video playing and a stop_btn should go back to a first frame (label "start") and thus give an illustion of stopping the movie.
I have no problem with the play_btn, however stop_btn doesn't work and when I test the movie I get the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at FSV_header1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
below is my code - any help is very appreciated!
stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, playMovie);
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stopMovie);
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("Play!");
    gotoAndPlay("start");
function stopMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("Close!");
    gotoAndStop("stop");
Thank you!!

Thank you!!
I was able to fix it by putting all the buttons on the first frame and toggling visibility on/off. Here's the code:
stop();
close_btn.visible = false;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, playMovie);
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stopMovie);
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("Play!");
    gotoAndPlay("start");
    play_btn.visible = false;
    close_btn.visible = true;
function stopMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("Stop!");
    gotoAndPlay("stop");
    close_btn.visible = false;
    play_btn.visible = true;

Accessing Device Property Files

How Can I access Device Property Files .
Depending on the available screen size, I want to display 1 or more images in a J2ME application.
This is required because a user can select a different device just before running the application/ can execute the J2ME application on different devices with different width and height.
Many thanks.

Displayable provide the methods
1.getHeight()
2.getWidth()
so assuming that you had a class that implements any displayable(canvas,screen or whatever) u can just fetch the screenwidth and screenheight of the phone,no need to access device property file which i think u cannot(plz confirn it with other developers tooo)

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

4. Everytime I run this, any test which is run first will fail and all other tests will pass.
My Tests.as file is as below:

package

import mx.core.FlexSprite;
import org.flexunit.listeners.CIListener;
import org.flexunit.listeners.UIListener;

public function currentRunTestSuite():Array
var testsToRun:Array = new Array();
testsToRun.push(Tests.XTestSuite);
return testsToRun;
XTestSuite try to run 4 flexunit test classes.
one of that flexunit test script class is as below:
package Tests.Classes
import flexunit.framework.Assert;
import org.flexunit.Assert;
import org.flexunit.asserts.assertEquals;
public class DummyASyncTest
[Test]
public function pause() : void
assertEquals(true, true);
trace("I M in dummy");
All other tests are dummy tests which just asserts(true, true).
I am not sure if I doing something wrong or forgot to take care of something.

All other tests are dummy tests which just asserts(true, true).
I am not sure if I doing something wrong or forgot to take care of something.

New to action script and getting: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a nu

I am getting this message in the output tab for buttons that I am trying to create. Here's the code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

gotoAndStop("home");
SoundMixer.stopAll();

I ran the debugger and got this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at peakInsights_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[peakInsights_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:48]
I guess it's telling me there's a problem with line 48 but what?
The home, about, business, contact, and archives button works. On the business page there are the remaining buttons biotech, technology, real estate, and energy. when i test it; i get the finger but the buttons don't work. this is my first flash site so I'am new, new.

I followed the steps and read some of your comments on the same top topic in another thread. When I put it on the first frame it was okay but the next button on that page had the same problem. So what I am guessing is that I have to either create a document class or put the actions where the buttons are. Am I understanding that correctly? In the other thread in which you helped someone else; there was so comments about document class. I found a tutorial on it and the way I understand it is that it you can put you actions in an external document. But you have to include in the event listener the frame in which you want that action to happen.
Thaks for your help. And patience.

Portal runtime error: Cannot access bean property

Dear all,
Does anybody have a clue what problem might couse the <b>Portal Runtime Error</b> described below?
It does seem to occur when a second user wants to access the <b>Component</b>.
<b>Portal Runtime Error</b>
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.xxxxx.luminaires/com.xxxx.iviews/Quotations/EasyQuote
<b>Component</b> Name : EasyQuoteDemo.EasyQuoteComponent
Tag tableView attribute model: Cannot access bean property quotationHeader.CurrentTableModel in page context.
Exception id: 04:50_21/09/04_0070
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Thxs in advance

Hi Dominik,
Having a closer look at the problem, we found it is not the number of users.
It seems our JAVA components keeps the conenctions with SAP open and reopens a new one every time we start the component.
If we finished solving the problem, I will publish the solution.
Greetings,
Joost

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

Dear Sir,
I really need your valuable assistance i was about to finish a project but at very last moment i am stuck. Here is the explanation below...
I have two files called "holder.swf" and "slide.swf" i want to improt the "slide.swf" using this action below
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("slide.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.x = 2;
myLoader.y = 2;
Also i have attached the flash file of "holder.swf". My concern is the moment i am calling the "slide.swf" inside the "holder.swf" it is showing the following error...
" TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
