Error URLRequest

Dear all.
I want to write an application in flash media server.
I installed FMS 4.5 Enterprise.
I want to get web content that it is json format.
My code:
//Get web content example 1
                var url = "http://10.84.70.133:8084/?q=external_api_transcode/getProgramByChannelAndDate&channel=vtv3 &date=20130404";
                var request = new URLRequest(url);
                var loader = new URLLoader();
                loader.load(request);
                trace(loader.data);
But when I load this application then there is error related URLRequest as below:
Sending error message: /opt/adobe/fms/applications/dvrcast_origin/main.asc: line 44: ReferenceError: URLRequest is not defined
I don't know why error appeared?
Can you help me as soon as?

My code :
var url = "http://10.84.70.133:8084/?q=external_api_transcode/getProgramByChannelAndDate&channel=vtv3 &date=20130404";
        var loadvar = new LoadVars();
        loadvar.onData = function(src) {
        if (src == undefined) {
                trace("Error loading content.");
                return;
        trace(src);
        loadvar.load(url,loadvar,"GET");
        trace(loadvar.toString());
But it is not ok.
Can you help me?

This code works perfectly fine but when I create another class and just change the name of the respective class, but with the same logic, it no longer handles the post properly [and it will return that nothing was posted].. Even though it's the same URL and code...
How I stumbled upon this was because I was trying to do a post to another URL but couldn't figure out for the life of me what was failing. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Hey kglad,
My apologies; I figured out the problem which turned out to be stupid. I didn't have the constructor matching the new name.. :-/
Welp. Thanks for helping out though.

I am getting an error report and not sure how to fix the script. Please help... 3

So now Im getting a new error report. I named the instance of the button in the properties panel btn_ccbil.
Here is the code I have now:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var url:String = 'http://www.lexiefyfe.com/ccbill9001/index.htm';
btn_ccbil.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onOrderClick);
function onOrderClick():void
      var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
      try {
            navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
      } catch (e:Error) {
            trace('An error occurred');
Here is the error report:
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 7 A type identifier is expected after the ':'.
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 9 The class or interface 'flash.net.URLRequest' could not be loaded.
This is the original code for the billing from ccbill I am trying to get to work with flash:
<A HREF="http://www.lexiefyfe.com/ccbill9001/index.htm"><img src="ccbutton.jpg"></A>
Is this just something that flash can't do? If so will someone please let me know. I am running in circles at this point and very frustrated... I'm new to as3 but I thought it could work.
Thank you to all for the help and consideration,
Thomas

You appear to be using AS3 code in an AS2 setting. Go into your Publish Settings and change the actionscript version to AS3 in the Flash section.
Other matters...
You do not need to import the URLRequest class while coding in the Flash IDE.
You need to put an argument in the function definition due to the listeners throwing one when it is triggered...
function onOrderClick(evt:MouseEvent):void

I am getting an error report and not sure how to fix the script. Please help...

I am using action script 3. I have html codes from ccbill that I am trying to make work with flash. Here is the script I am trying to use:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var url:String = 'http://www.lexiefyfe.com/ccbill9001/index.htm';
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onOrderClick);
function onOrderClick():void

      try {
            navigateToURL(request, '_blank');
      } catch (e:Error) {
            trace('An error occurred');
Here is the code from ccbill:
<A HREF="http://www.lexiefyfe.com/ccbill9001/index.htm"><img src="ccbutton.jpg"></A>
This is the error report I am getting:
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 1 Statement must appear within on handler
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 3 Statement must appear within on handler
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 5 Statement must appear within on handler

Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 9 The class or interface 'flash.net.URLRequest' could not be loaded.
Scene=photogallery, layer=buttons, frame=1, Line 7 Statement must appear within on handler
If anyone can help me with this issue I would be most grateful.
Thank you for any consideration,
Thomas

You have a mixture of things going on... AS3 code in an AS2 setting. Those are all AS2 error messages, and they are indicating you have placed the code on the buttons. To use that code, it must be placed on the timeline, and your Flash Publish Settings need to have AS3 specified instead of AS2. AS3 does not allow code to be placed on objects like AS2 does.

Need help non-null error: xml or onComplete?

Can someone tell me what this means?
The slideshow its referring to is a something I purchased online and is embedded into my movie.
Does it mean I need to put and onComplete function on the page thats loading this? Is it for the xml or the slideshow movie?
Or am I missing eventListener somewhere?
Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.

Thanks in advance

Thats is my question, I just have this code on the frame that I want it to play on and it plays on the first try, after that it's not loading.
I don't know what i am doing wrong or how or where to code to put the listener. I've tried so many things, obviously not the right thing!
var ss1Req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("slideshow/slideshow.swf");
var ss1loader:Loader = new Loader();
        _1a.x = 10;
        _1a.y = 70;
        ss1loader.load(ss1Req);
        _1a.addChild(ss1loader);
    ss1loader.unload();
This is the buttoncode that takes user to the page
smm1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, slide);
        function slide(event:MouseEvent):void {
            if (this.vidPlayer == !null)

TypeError: Error #1034 - Want to display a swf

Hi,
I´m new to AS3 and try to load/display swf´s on the stage. The swf´s should run and if the user clicks a button the next swf should be displayed.
That works so far if I use some swf´s that are created also with FlashPlayer 9 and AS3. But if I use a swf created by someone else I get a TypeError: Error #1034. So far, I have no idea why this happens. Maybe you can have a look at my code and give me a hint. Thanks in advance.

    at teaser_fla::MainTimeline/setMovieClip()

The problem will be related to trying to manipulate an AS1/AS2 file using AS3... it cannot be done. In this case, you are probably just seeing the first of a few errors where you try to manipulate an AS2 object by trying to cast it as an AS3 MovieClip object. You would run into problems later when you try controlling/reading that same file (currentFrame is not an AS1/AS2 property, but you attempt to extract it).
Per the Flash Help documentation...
"ActionScript 3.0 code can load a SWF file written in ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0, but it cannot access the SWF file's variables and functions. "
You can implement the LocalConnection class to overcome some of the issues, but if you are using other people's files, you are likely to hit a wall...
"LocalConnection objects created in ActionScript 3.0 can communicate with LocalConnection objects created in ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0.
The reverse is also true: LocalConnection objects created in ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0 can communicate with LocalConnection objects created in ActionScript 3.0. Flash Player handles this communication between LocalConnection objects of different versions automatically."

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,
Mike

Ned,
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?

Error Message with Form Sending

Hi there,
My form is working fine and the PHP is fully functional,
however I get this error message once the form has been submitted.
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to
URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing
name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables$iinit()
at
flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
Does anyone know what this means?
Here is my function that sends the message
function sendMessage(event:MouseEvent):void
var contactVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
contactVariables.custName = textName.text;
contactVariables.custEmail = textEmail.text;
contactVariables.custPhone = textPhone.text;
contactVariables.custSubject = textSubject.text;
contactVariables.custMessage = textMessage.text;
var postMessage:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("mailContact.php");
postMessage.data = contactVariables;
postMessage.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.load(postMessage);
gotoAndStop(2);
As mentioned before, my form does work fine. Anyone know what
the problem could be??
Thanks
CM

Ok ive figured out that Flash does not like the '&' sign
when data is sent back to it as a string. The thing that I dont get
is that my PHP script does NOT send the data back to flash. Why oh
why is this message being displayed?
Also ive discovered that on some machines it does not display
the error at all. I just don't get it. Anyone had this problem
before?
Thanks
CM

This error means that you are trying to set the text field but there is no data in the variable. As a first step, try to identify where this is happening, eg Is it the first call, or once you have submitted your data or only if you try to submit data second time?
Trace out the data that is returned for both completeHandlers to see if there is a missing var. Try this for "load_numbers" and "store_choice". Do it twice for "store_choice". Do you get back what you expected?
You could also try altering the php to return some fixed dummy variables, eg choice1Count=11&choice2Count=22&choice3Count=33, etc. If this works then you know that the error is in the PHP.
It looks to me like the issue is when you submit the data a second time and just get back the return_msg - the handler then tries to assign the choice1Count etc but doesn't have any count data back from the poll.php.
Test that there is data before assigning it, eg
    if(event.target.data.choice1Count){
        count1_txt.text = event.target.data.choice1Count;
        count2_txt.text = event.target.data.choice2Count;
        count3_txt.text = event.target.data.choice3Count;

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null

I am new to AS period, but I am following some training videos for AS 3.0 to create a portfolio site where the images and text are loaded by xml.
I have followed the instructions to the letter; however I am getting the #2007 Parameter text must be not-null error.
I have pasted my code below:
var titleArray:Array = new Array();
var descriptionArray:Array = new Array();
var largeImageArray:Array = new Array();
var thumbnailImageArray:Array = new Array();
var imageNum:Number=0;
var totalImages:Number;
//XML
//load in XML
var XMLURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
XMLURLLoader.load(new URLRequest("assets/portfolio/portfolio.xml"));
XMLURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(event:Event):void {
var theXMLData:XML=new XML(XMLURLLoader.data);
totalImages=theXMLData.title.length();
for (var i:Number = 0; i < totalImages; i++) {
titleArray.push(theXMLData.title[i]);
descriptionArray.push(theXMLData.description[i]);
largeImageArray.push(theXMLData.largeImage[i]);
thumbnailImageArray.push(theXMLData.thumbImage[i]);
loadThumbnail();
myScrollPane.source=allThumbnails;
//LOAD THE THUMBNAILS
function loadThumbnail():void {
trace(imageNum);
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thumbLoader.load(new URLRequest(thumbnailImageArray[imageNum]));
thumbLoader.x = 90*imageNum;
//stores the appropriate info for thumbnail
var thisLargeImage:String = largeImageArray[imageNum];
var thisTitle:String = titleArray[imageNum];
var thisDescription:String = descriptionArray[imageNum];
thumbLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, thumbLoaded);
function thumbLoaded(event:Event):void {
//add the thumbnails to the allThumbnails instance
allThumbnails.addChild(thumbLoader);
allThumbnails.buttonMode = true;
myScrollPane.update();
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadMainImage1);
function loadMainImage1(event:MouseEvent):void {
largeUILoader.source=thisLargeImage;
selectedTitle.text=thisTitle;
selectedDesc.text=thisDescription;
//add to imageNum (1);
imageNum++;
if (imageNum<totalImages) {
loadThumbnail();
I know my error has something to do with this part of the code:
//stores the appropriate info for thumbnail
var thisLargeImage:String = largeImageArray[imageNum];
var thisTitle:String = titleArray[imageNum];
var thisDescription:String = descriptionArray[imageNum];
but I can't figure out what's wrong. When I test my movie, everything functions correctly except when I click on a different thumbnail, the proper description does not load. My xml file is set up correctly. Here is a bit of that code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portfolio>

<title>Spark Your Imagination Ad</title>
<![CDATA[<description>These black & white ads were designed to run in the trade publication The Green Sheet in the Merchant Acquiring Industry</description>]]>
<largeImage>assets/portfolio/lg/1.jpg</largeImage>
<thumbImage>assets/portfolio/thumbs/1.jpg</thumbImage>

<title>Corporate Business Card - iMax Bancard</title>
<![CDATA[<description>This full color double-sided business card is the current standard card being used by employees and agents of iMax Bancard</description>]]>
<largeImage>assets/portfolio/lg/2.jpg</largeImage>
<thumbImage>assets/portfolio/thumbs/2.jpg</thumbImage>
</portfolio>
The only thing different with my xml code is that in the tutorial I am following, the <description></description> tags are on the outside of the CDATA tags (which I have seen examples of both)... but when I put the code that way, it causes breaks in my code at the first special character I use.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jen

click file/publish settings/flash and tick "permit debugging". retest. the line number with the non-existant object will be in the error message.

Error when retrieving data from remote url

Hello,
I'm trying to do something that should be very simple --
letting a user enter something in a textbox, then using that data
as a script parameter when calling a remote cgi script, and
returning the results to the screen.
The remote cgi is sending data in plain text. I have looked
at several examples, and I've tried using an XMLHttpRequest, I've
tried using the servicemonitor.swf methods, and I've tried with
URLRequest and URLLoader methods. All fail in one way or another.
Here's the code for the URLRequest/URLLoader method...
function fetchISSN(myform) {
air.trace("Starting Fetch");
var mytitle = myform.title.value;
air.trace("TITLE: " + mytitle);
var reqURL = "
http://grlinker.coalliance.org/grbin/ilu_rmt.cgi";
air.trace("URL: " + reqURL);
var variables = new air.URLVariables("title=" + mytitle +
"&isf=plain");
air.trace("URLPARMS: " + variables);
// var element = document.getElementById('results');
var request = new air.URLRequest(reqURL);
air.trace("Request Object Created");
request.data = variables;
air.trace("Data Added to request");
request.method = air.URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader = new air.URLLoader();
air.trace("Loader Object Created");
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.OPEN, loadOpen);
try {
loader.load(request);
} catch(e) {
alert('Could NOT load data: ' + e);
} // end of function fetchISSN
function loadComplete(event) {
// alert('Downloaded ' + loader.bytesTotal);
alert('Complete');
// element.innerText = loader.data;
} // end of function loadComplete()
function loadOpen(event) {
alert('Downloading');
} // end of function loadComplete()
And the HTML that calls it...
<table width="280" border="1" align="center">
<tr><td align="center">
<font size="2">Enter a title and click
submit.</font>
<form name="issn">
<input type="text" name="title" /><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"
onClick="javascript:fetchISSN(this.form)" />
</form>
</td></tr>
</table>
Things go fine until it hits the loadComplete function. At
that point, the following error is generated...
Error: The application attempted to reference a JavaScript
object in an HTML page that is no longer loaded.
at __HTMLScriptFunction/throwJSObjectDead()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
Can anyone give me any advice or even a reason for this
failure. I did find a bug about this in the bugtracker, it says it
is resolved with an "external" resolution. I'm not sure what that
means. Is there a patch I'm missing? Am I doing something really
stupid?
Just for reference, I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.5.6, using
the SDK for development.
Thanks!
Scott

Hi,
Can you try putting the declaration of the URLLoader instance
outside your fetchISSN function and see?
That is:
var loader;
function fetchISSN(myform) {
//your code above this line
loader = new URLLoader();
//rest of your code

Error message while executing a SWF File

Hi All,
Iam trying to execute a SWF file which has its actionscript
written in AS3. When i execute this, I am getting an error message
which is as follows
Verify Error 1030# Stack Depth unbalanced 1 != 0.
Can anyone tell me what could be the root cause?
Thanks in advance,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.

Hi All,
I am able to find the root cause for this. For AS 3 classes,
while parsing the ABC code, every method body will be a set of
instructions in which each instruction will have an offset to it.
This offset will be useful to mark the target for branching
instructions like if, while etc.... Because, these instructions
contains targetoffset as a parameter to which the instruction has
to jump when the condition becomes true or false. The process what
i am doing is i do some code injection to replace the URLRequest
calls. The flash file in which i got this error, i did replace the
URLRequest call to my own method call and this code was being
wrapped up by an IF block. Because of the code injection, i need to
update the offset of the instructions with the difference offset
value. I did this, but i missed the jumpoffset parameter of the if
block wrapping my injected code which was the root cause. I did fix
this...
Thanks,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.

Error #1010 While trying to link a button to a PDF

Hi all, I am completely new to AS3 and Flash in general, but because of a project here at work I decided to venture in creating a site. I imported a Photoshop file into the stage and created buttons from some headings. I need to link the headings to PDF files when they are clicked, but when I wrote the code (actually in various different formats) I keep getting the following error (while permitting to debug):
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at extras3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[extras3_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:9]
My simple code is
var pdfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images\Other\LetterHansen.pdf");
//PDF Link
function pdfLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(pdfURL,"_blank");
Text.daniels_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pdfLink);
Any suggestions? I'm sure it's something simply, but I figured I'd ask for help instead of banging my head against the wall
Thanks!

Whichever line is line 9 of your code has a problem. If it is the last line, chances are you have not named your daniels_btn inside the Text object, or it is not named in the first frame within Text.

When you get error messages and post about them, you should include the entire error message in your posting. In my case I have no idea what a 2007 error involves. Also, to get the most info into your error messages you should enable the option to Permit Debugging found in the Flash section of the file's Publish Settings. Selecting that option can often add more details into the error message.
