Flash CS3: AS3 - ReferenceError #1065 Variable is not defined

I have developed several actionscript classes. Two of these
classes are associated with MovieClip objects in the library. The
MovieClips have their Linkage Base Classes set to their respective
package and class locations and when I check the Linkage settings
(using the check mark icon) Flash CS3 reports that it can find the
associated classes for both MovieClips.
When I check the syntax of my code there are no problems, and
when I test the Flash movie no Compile Errors are shown. Yet, in
the output window I get the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable class1 is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable class2 is not defined.
I have placed class1 and class2 in the above error messages
to represent the classes that are associated with the MovieClip.
Am I missing an import command somewhere? I have the base
class path properly set in the preferences of Flash CS3.
Thanks,

It appears that this issue was due to some of my classes not
being marked as public. I had been following examples from AS2 that
had the classes marked as dynamic without a private or public
identifier. Apparently, AS3 assumes all unmarked classes are
private.

  • ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not defined.

    Hi people.
    Whatever I do (seems like) I end up with the following
    message in Flash CS3:
    "ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not defined."
    I have no clue to what causes it, and therefor I cannot seem
    to fix it. I've been trying to look for answers online, but all I
    got out of that was to declare my classes as public, which I
    already had done.
    Even a very simple class that runs a trace command from its'
    constructor method won't work. It even gives me this message even
    though I don't have any variables or trace commands or anything.
    This is really annoying, so please help me out :)
    A

    Some code sample would help - and remember classes must be
    contained within
    packages in CS3.

  • HELP ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not defined.

    okay i keep writing code for a button that when clicked
    should jump to another frame on my timeline but each time i preview
    it i get this error : ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not
    defined.
    I NEED HELP PLEASE HOW DO I DEFINE THE VARIABLE?

    you declare its data type to stop the error message, but
    that's unlikely to help you because you're probably trying to use a
    value of some variable.
    so, you need to pinpoint the area of code that triggers the
    error message. for example, does the error only appear after you
    click your button?

  • Error #1065: Variable  is not defined on ObjectUtil??

    One comment to Adobe, it would be nice if the debugger would
    output better errors. Maybe it's just my lack of experience, but
    trying to track down errors is a daunting task.
    I had spent an entire night trying to track down this error
    and it has come down to the following code:
    private function server_fault(event:FaultEvent):void{
    Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(event));
    The ObjectUtil seems to be causing this error as if i change
    it to (event as String) it works fine. But this makes absolutely no
    sense since i have other classes that use the exact same code w/o a
    hitch. I do have the ObjectUtil imported.
    Here is the entire error:

  • Shared library extended class Error #1065: Variable is not defined

    Right, bit of a complicated set-up  here. I've got a class structure which includes the View class:
    com.website.buttons.MyButton
    Then i've got a shared library swc called sharedassets.swc  that contains a MovieClip in the library that uses  'com.website.buttons.MyButton' as its 'Linkage Properties' base class,  extending with the following empty class:
    com.website.timeline.sharedassets.BackButton
    Then i've got a second  swc that  imports the BackButton mc into its own library as a shared library asset, and uses an instance of  it on the stage in a MovieClip of it's own called LinearNavBar.  LinearNavBar's Linkage Properties are thus:
    Class: com.website.timeline.sequence.LinearNavBar
    Base class: com.website.navigation.LinearNavbar
    Again, 'com.website.navigation.LinearNavbar' is an actual class in the code base, whilst 'com.website.timeline.sequence.LinearNavBar' does not exits (ie: its dynamically created by the swc at compile time). 'Automatically declare stage instances' is unchecked
    Over in the class structure in my  Flash Builder project, I've got another class
    com.website.navigation.Sequence
    Which instantiates a new version of  LinearNavBar and adds it to the stage:
    var navBar:Navbar = new LinearNavBar();
    addChild(navBar);
    At which point the following error is  shown:
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable BackButton is not defined.
    It seems Flash Builder cannot find 'com.website.timeline.sharedassets.BackButton', even though BOTH compiled swcs are included as part of the projects.
    What gives, my friends? I am most heartily perplexed.

    I have on the permit debugging option but it says nothing but these errors
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Button is not defined.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable ComponentShim is not defined.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable LoaderProV3AS3 is not defined.

    2. variable component shim is not defined.
    3. variable loaderprov3 is not defined.
    i cant find how to fix these,as the behavior of flash is ambigious now. one time i run the file it runs perfectly, second i just code simple if else statement and than run the file, it leads to the above mentioned errors i m totally stuck and cant find any ways to get rid of these junks, Also compiler error window says, "unknown error optimizing byte code".
    Anyone help me out,
    cheers.

  • Adding Easing to Flash CS3 AS3 UI Components

    I am working on an AS3 project where I am forced to use

    Is there any way to add easing to the UIScrollBar [ and
    the other components that use the UIScrollBar  like the List,
      ScrollPane, TileList ]
    If anyone has a solution I will name my next child after you!!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Does "unlikely" mean "definately not" or "you are not sure" ?
    As I stated .....
    "I am forced to use
    stock, out-of-the-box Flash CS3 AS3 UI Components."...
    So "making my own objects" is not an option.
    Thanks again for replying,

  • Any Flash CS3 AS3 Map samples available that work in AIR?

    Any Flash CS3 AS3 Map samples available that work in AIR?
    Like Google or Yahoo.
    The ones that I have tried fail to work when making the final
    AIR app.

    I changed the profile of both to AIR2.0, and it still shows AIR1.0 in the properties panel. I'm able to publish the Panel.swf now but it also generates an unwanted panel-app.xml -- unwanted because panel is not an app, it's merely a SWF to run inside the main app.
    Is there a better way? And why does it still say AIR1.0 in the properties panel?

  • Bind variable is not defined

    Hi, it is my first attempt to modify a rdf file.
    I run into a problem while trying to add an additional user parameter in an existing rdf file. While I am successful in adding a new FREQUENCY user parameter and I am able to update the form to show this new parameter, I am not able to run the report.
    I have updated the SQL query in the report editor, under data view to use this new parameter :FREQUENCY. (select ... from table where frequency= :FREQUENCY) There was no error here.
    Whenever I run the report, I will always get an error saying:
              "REP-0730: The following bind variable is not defined: "(nothing behind this                                                             error message)
    The program will have a memory error and it exits itself.
    I had tried many methods trying to solve this problem to no avail.
    I am using Oracle 9i Reports Builder 9.0.2.0.3.
    I would appreciate any help given on this matter.
    Thank you :)

  • Why would I get ReferenceError #1065: "Variable title is not defined."

    Well of course it's not defined.  It's a dynamic class, and strict mode compilation is turned off so that I don't have to declare the property to compile it.
    I've created a library item named "Page" with a single TextField instance named "title".
    Page's class is defined in an ActionScript file, and it's assigned to the library item in export for ActionScript.
    Page's ActionScript file defines the class as a "dynamic" class, so I should not be getting this runtime error.  I turned off strict mode compiling, since it seems to be designed to check the presense of property definitions at compile time for dynamic classes like MovieClip.
    public dynamic class Page extends MovieClip
        public function Page()
            super();
            var text:String = title.text; //title can be moused over in the debugger here and shows the correct value, but the flash player throws a runtime error when it tries to access it, but it shouldn't because this is a dynamic class.
    So why am I getting a runtime error for the field "title".  It makes no sense, because if I step to that line in the FlashDevelop debugger and hold the mouse over "title", it shows that it is in fact the instance of the TextField that I'm trying to access.  Yet the player throws an error when I actually try to access it.
    Is it a problem or limitation with the access style (i.e. would it work fine if I accessed it as "this.title" or "this["title"]"?

    Nevermind.  This was apparently a browser caching issue.   The Page base class is defined in the main interface swf, and is externally referenced through its swc in an external "lesson" file that declare a subclass of Page.  It was this custom subclass of Page which was throwing the error (basically the same as the simplified example I wrote for my post, where it simply tried to access "title" as a dynamic property of the Page).  What happened is the browser was caching an old version of the lesson file with the old definition of the class that was not declared as dynamic.  I had received the error before, then updated the class, then I was surprised to see the error persist.  It suddenly dawned on me that the browser was probably caching the old version, so I cleared the cache and it seems to work fine now.
    Actually, it is a problem after all.  I forgot I had updated it to use "this.title" syntax on the page I tested after clearing the cache, but the other pages that try to access title directly as "title" still throw the error.  So it seems to be some sort of quirk in how flash accesses properties of a dynamic class.  If you try to access them direclty, it must do so in a way that requires the property to be defined, but if you access it via "this.title" or this["title"], the it seems to resolve the property value without throwing the error.
    This sucks.  I was really trying to not have to write "this." for every property.  The entire display list is dynamically generated from some custom XML that allows me to call constructors and set complex type-safe properties, and during construction it was copying each item into a Dictionary by name.  This Dictionary was then assigned to the page class as "items", so I was accessing each display object as "item.name".  Then I got the brilliant idea of just making Page and its subclasses "dynamic" so that I could just add the DIctionary values on the Page instance itself.  I thought I would be able to access the dyamic properties just by their name such as "title", but lo and behold, Flash strikes again, and I have to use dot notation anyway.  What do you all think?  Any solutions?

  • My Flash CS3 document got corrupted and its not showing timeline frames & drawings on stage. How to retrieve it?

    My Flash CS3 document got corrupted when I clicked on the option "Save & Compact".Now its not showing timeline frames & drawings on stage. Can someone please help me by telling how can I retrieve my work..???

    copy your fla.
    rename the copy to a dot rar file and use winrar to repair it.  then unrar to see if you can get a uncorrupted copy.
    otherwise, rename your fla to a zip, unzip it and recover whatever assets you can.
    or if you have a good swf, try a decompiler (like sothink's) to see if you can recreate your fla.
    and, in the future, save versions of your work so you never have to go through this learning experience with flash or any other document creation tool.
