ActionScript TypeError: Error #1009?
Okay, so I was on this website earlier, www.peterdavid.net and tried to view a video that Vevo was hosting directly on the site's homepage, when it loaded up till about 56% an ActionScript error came up saying basicallly something like:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Now my question is really, first of all, is this a problem with the website or with my computer, second, how do I fix this, and yeah I don't know anything about ActionScript, I was not trying to write one at all I simply came across a website and this happened during the video playing. Any thoughts?
EDIT: not sure if it would help, but the options I had were to Dismiss All and Continue.
Thanks in advance.
Usually this type of error is caused by the website, rather than your Flash Player installation. If you tell us what video on the website is causing it, someone here can test it.
What OS and browser are you using?
Also, is 'third-party content' checked on the Flash Player Settings Manager at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html ?

Another TypeError: Error #1009 Problem
Hey all, I've searched the 'net and searched these forums but can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm creating a flash based game for school that so far has ten frames on the timeline. I have buttons on frame one, frame 5, and frame 10. I have actionscript code to control those buttons on frame 1, frame 5, and frame 10 respectively. The code is worded identically on each frame with the exception that I've changed the button names and the function names that are called when the mouse button is pressed. The code works fine on frame 1 and on frame 5, but when I click the button on frame 5 that sends me to frame 10, I get this error immediately:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at keys2BibleTest_fla::MainTimeline/frame10()
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at keys2BibleTest_fla::MainTimeline/stormBtnHandler1()
I have verified that each instance of the buttons do indeed have the name of the button being listened for in the event handlers. I can change the type from button to movieclip and it works fine. I can also remove frames 1 through 9 and the code works.
Here's the code:
Frame 1:
stop();
enterBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, enterBtnHandler1);
function enterBtnHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(5, "Scene 1");
Frame 5:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stormBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stormBtnHandler1);
function stormBtnHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10, "Scene 1");
chickenOutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, chickenOutBtnHandler1);
function chickenOutBtnHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 1");
Frame 10:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
creationBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, creation);
function creation(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(3, "Scene 1");
lifeBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, lifeOfChrist);
function lifeOfChrist(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.ceoutreach.org"));
I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help?
Thank you,
MikeNed,
thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my buttons are on separate layers and separated by blank keyframes to boot. When I posted originally, the buttons were all on the same layer BUT separated by blank keyframes. After doing some research on the web, I moved the buttons to their own separate layers (one button per layer) and kept the blank keyframes as well.
Currently, my only filled keyframes are one, five, and ten. All other keyframes are blank except for my labels and actionscript code. I'm using separate layers for labels and actions, too. I attempted to attach the file with my original post but received the message that .fla files are not allowed. I don't know about your window, but mine says Max size 5.0 MB (my file is 2), All files types allowed except.... .fla is not one of those in the exception list so I expected it to go.
It's got something to do with the two buttons on frame 10.... I just went into the actionscript and bypassed frame 5, going directly to frame 10 when the Enter button is depressed, and got the same error message. There's something in the code I'm just not seeing.... when I comment out the code for the buttons, no error message. Put the code back in, error message comes back. Delete the buttons and the code and insert new ones, the error message comes back.
It's got me totally stumped.
Thank you for trying,
Mike
Edit: I forgot to mention, frame ten is the only place on the timeline where instances of these particular buttons are being used. The other frames are populated with different buttons. Also, when I change the type to movieclip, everything works. Weird, huh? -

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

var oldResumeY:Number = myResumecontent.y;
//Position the content on the top left corner of the mask

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

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
var distance:Number = Math.round(resumescrollMC.y - Resumebounds.y);
//Calculate the percentage of the distance from the line height.
//So when the scrollMC is on top, percentage is 0 and when its
//at the bottom the percentage is 1.
var percentage:Number = distance / RESUME_HEIGHT;

Can anyone throw any light on this obscure Flex error?...
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mx.controls::AdvancedDataGrid/findHeaderRenderer()[...path...\projects\datavisualisation\ src\mx\controls\AdvancedDataGrid.as:1350]

I found a related bug reported on Jira: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1631
But in our case, we have no zoom effect. It may be timing related, as there is a lot of computation going on when this page, and the ADG is first initialised.
Please?... Any suggestions or workarounds? We don't want this falling over in the hands of our customers.
<rant> And people wonder why I hate Flex!? These obscure instabilities never happen when I develop Pure ActionScript. The Flash platform is wonderfully stable. But as soon as you bring Flex into play, things take longer to develop, it's a struggle to extend or change the behaviour of the bloated components, and everything falls apart as these bugs begin to surface.</rant>facing the same problem... sdk 4.1. no solution for about 2 years ????

Please anybody, it would be very helpful since i'm still trying to tackle as3 classes.

abeso, movDropDownContainer (which i know is myContainer.container_mc) doesn't exist WHEN revealDropDown() is called (and that error message is displayed).
we already know it does exist and movDropDownContainer is defined correctly when your constructor is called so some time after that the timeline that contains myContainer.container_mc must move and it no longer exists or actionscript is used to remove the movieclip.
the most subtle way that can happen is with a timeline created instance (ie, created in the ide). there are lots of ways this can happen. obviously, if you see that your timeline moves to or through a frame where myContainer.container_mc doesn't exist, it should be clear why you're seeing that error message. but this error can be caused by more difficult to understand situations.
for example, if it appears that movieclip is in every frame but it's in a layer with more than 1 keyframe, then you can have identically named instances (and that all look the same) that are not the same instance. in fact, the only sure way to know that movieclip exists in keyframes where it appears to exist is to clear all the keyframes in its layer (after the first keyframe where it appears) and then create all the additional keyframes. at that point, if you do not remove the movieclip from the stage, in any keyframes, all the instances will be the same. if you do anything else or you've done anything else, you're going to run into this problem. -
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,
BrandonWell, when I test the loaded SWF within the Flash environment
(by itself), it plays just fine.
Then, I try to play the root containing movie (both within
Flash and on the web server) and as soon as that section loads, is
when the error occurs.
I've tried tracing everything. even down to putting trace()
actions between every layer. Can't determine what causes it...
One thing I noticed (but I assume is a naming convention that
Flash uses), is in the error above you see "test_fla", well, lets
say I have these files:
test-container.fla
test-home.fla
I don't have a test_fla, but the error code refers to it
anyway... -

Component on Scene 2 causes TypeError: Error #1009??
This one should be easy to explain because I'm sure a lot of
you have noticed it. Just create a Scene 2 and put any component
(EDIT: Try FLVPlayback since removing and re-adding the other
components seemed to work for me) on the stage and compile. You'll
get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at
Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp___id1__Scene2_Layer1_0()
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
where id1 is the instance name if you assigned one.
My original project worked fine in CS3 (actionscript 3, Flash
9 project) but after upgrading to CS4 I got this error when
compiling. I thought it had to do with not having a
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage); but once I
narrowed it down to the issue with Scenes and Components I figured
it must not.
What is causing this and how do I fix it?
Thank you!I'm on a plain 10.0 but I don't think it is a Flash issue as
you are trying to do something that is not possible. I jumped
directly from 8 to CS4 so I cannot tell about how CS3 handles
things, but you will not be able to access a component from within
a scene that does not contain the instance.
Or will you also get the error on a plain Scene 1 and Scene 2

TypeError: Error #1009- help needed
Hi,
I'm working on a school project, which is to say I'm still pretty new to AS3.
I keep receiving error 1009 which seems to point to the problematic "theory" section. I've checked my label & instance names numerous times- everything looks fine. What else might it be?
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame70()
The buttons fade into view over the course of 5 frames.. so they are on the stage but invisible starting at frame 65, and by frame 70 they are in the same spot and fully visible & supposed to be functional.
I have the actionscript on a separate layer on frame 70, this is what I have-
stop();
theory_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playtheory);
function playtheory(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("theory");
history_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playhistory);
function playhistory(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("history");
future_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playfuture);
function playfuture(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("future");
credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playcredits);
function playcredits(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("credits");
I've checked all of my labeling mulitple times- all names and instances are correct and in their proper places.. Unless it's a mindblowingly obvious mistake and I'm just not catching it.
I'd like to upload my .fla, but it's too large of a file. I will happily email it if anyone is willing to take a peek.I may be wrong, but for the original problem I am guessing that the following of what I listed was the problem...
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
You mentioned frame 70 is where alpha = 1, which has me thinking you animated them into view but did not name them in the first frame(s). That lack of a name will get inherited at the other end of the tween.
For your new problem, if your home page is on frame 75, and your code for the home button is on frame 76, you have to stop at frame 76 for the code to be assigned, otherwise, going to another frame will leave it without that code getting assigned for the home button.
What you can do is have the home button and its code in frame 75, but make it invisible there, and in your other function for the other buttons, turn it visible.
I tried to show the code but the editor is playing games and deleting stuff on me as I add it. -
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:

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. -
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.

Hi,
I need your help please - I have to update one of my iOS Apps. In this App I use Box2d for a simple maze game (it's an app for kids). When I publish & test this game on my Mac it works fine. I can drag my Hero (fish) through this Maze and all collision detections, gravity etc. work perfect.
When I test it on my iPad it doesn't work. The device debugger shows this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at misc::Entity/handleAddedToStage()
Line 31: loader = new CLibInit();
I guess "CLibInit" should come from the .swc file.
The thing is:
I didn't change anything in this maze game - it seems this has to do something with the new Flash and/or Adobe Air version. Box2D.swc file is included:
It always worked like this - and it works when testing it on my Mac - but it is no longer working on my current system.
So I started my Mac from an older system (10.9.5 on an external HD) and published the App from Flash CS6 and Adobe Air 13.0 - then it suddenly worked on my iPad as before. I was able to tap an the fish and drag it arround.
The same project / app published from my current OS X 10.10 + Flash CC 2014 + Adobe Air 15.0.0.302 is not working. I always receive this Error Message - I can not drag the fish - nothing happens. And I have no idea why this happens and what else I could do. I searched the whole day for a solution but didn't find anything.
So did anything change by the way Flash and/or Air handles .swc files? Is there an other way to include: import cmodule.Box2D.* / CLibInit ?
Please - if anyone has a clue - please let me know!!
Best regards
JanUpdate:
There is also an Android Version of this App. I just published and tested a new version of it on my kindle fire & Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. On both Tablets the maze works perfect. I'm able to drag the fish around etc.
Then I published this Android Version for iOS and tested it on my iPad. Again I'm getting the Error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

...and the fish is stuck - I can't drag it - nothing happens. So this error only occurs when I publish the App for iOS - as an .ipa. Did anything change in the way Air handles .swc files?
I'm totally confused
If anybody has an idea what I could try - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! -
Using papervision in flash builder and getting TypeError: Error #1009: when using object.pitch(5)
When i use papervision in flash builder and i am doing a test, when i render a sphere using papervision with the following code it renders me the sphere.
When i add a line sphere.pitch(2); ||
sphere.yaw(2);
sphere.roll(2);
i get the following error,
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at PvTest/onRenderTick()[D:\Android 3D\PvTest\src\PvTest.as:39]
Can anyone help me figure out the error
For additional Info, these are the imports i am doing:
import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;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. -
