TypeError: Error #1006 (SET_OPEN)

Hi,
When creating a segementation model I suddenly (without beeing aware of any changes) get the error message TypeError: Error #1006 (SET_OPEN).
Have anybody seen this before?
regards Camilla

Hi Camilia,
I am also facing similar type of error. Is it related to Internet Settings. Would you please help me in resolving it.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
Rahul

TypeError: Error #1006 - Removing MovieClip from the stage

I have a movie clip that is called to the stage and once the movieclip is finished it calls a function that removes it from the stage. The code works but I get an error message about 4 seconds after the movie clip ends.
Here’s the error message:
TypeError: Error #1006: exitWordMicroscopic is not a function.
                at ASvocabulary_microscopic/frame110()[ASvocabulary_microscopic::frame110:1]
Here’s the stage code:
//************************Removes the movieclip from the stage and enables the button.*************************
function exitWordMicroscopic():void
                bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = true;
                removeChild(word_Microscopic);
//******************************Stage buttons**************************************
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
function goButtonsHomeRead_1(event:MouseEvent):void
                //Vocabulary buttons
                if (event.target == bnt_vocab_microscopic)
                                bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = false;
                                SoundMixer.stopAll();
                                addChild(word_Microscopic);
                                word_Microscopic.x = 47;
                                word_Microscopic.y = 120;
Here’s the code inside the movie clip. This is what the error message is referring to:
//****************** Calls function to remove itself from the stage****************************
Object(parent).exitWordMicroscopic();
What am I doing wrong?

Here' how the code looks now:
Objective: To remove the current movieclip while it's playing so that it does not show on the next (or previous) frame.
Here’s the stage code:
var word_Microscopic:ASvocabulary_microscopic = new ASvocabulary_microscopic();
//Removes the movieclip from the stage and enables the button.
function exitWordMicroscopic():void
    bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = true;
    removeChild(word_Microscopic);
//******************************Stage buttons**************************************
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
function goButtonsHomeRead_1(event:MouseEvent):void
    //Vocabulary buttons
    if (event.target == bnt_vocab_microscopic)
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        bnt_vocab_microscopic.mouseEnabled = false;
        addChild(word_Microscopic);
        word_Microscopic.x = 47;
        word_Microscopic.y = 120;
        word_Microscopic.play();
//This button takes the user to the Main Screen
    if (event.target == bnt_ReadGoHome_1)
       // exitWordMicroscopic(); [If I use this function I get this error ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.]
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        gotoAndPlay("1","Main");
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
//This takes the user to the next frame.
if (event.target == GoNext_1)
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        gotoAndPlay("2");
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtonsHomeRead_1);
Here’s the code inside the movie clip.
//****************** Calls function to remove itself from the stage****************************
Object(parent).exitWordMicroscopic();

I wrote some previous code that worked and i copy pasted over to this project and it doesn't work.
The weird part to me is that it still runs the first set of trace statements (there are 8 objects in that array). But, it won't run the second set...

TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.

I having some problems implementing Flex for the first time.
At the moment I'm getting
TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.
I suspect that I'm missing a library or something in the
compile but I don't know how to resolve it.
When I Run the Application in Flex Builder I get an error
that the file isn't in the project and that some of the features
are disabled. This would be consistent with an incomplete compile
but the file is in a project. I even recreated a new project but I
get the same errors.
What am I missing?

More detail on the error:
TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.
at mx.core::Singleton$/getInstance()
at mx.styles::StyleManager$cinit()
at global$init()
at mx.containers::Form$cinit()
at global$init()
at global$init()
In debug it was stopping here in Singleton.as
public static function getInstance(name:String):Object
var clazz:Class = classMap[name];
return Object(clazz).getInstance();
I changed the container from mx:Form to mx:Application so now
it seems to be working, but I'm not sure why mx:Form was giving me
this issue.

TypeError: Error #1006: when rearranging array of objects

I have an array of objects, which I call in a loop thus:
myObjectArray[index].method()
However, when I splice one object from the array and put it
at the front via unshift, it no longer understands the method call
and spouts a Type Error#1006 :value is not a function:
Looks like a bug to me. Or am I missing something?

Thanks for the quick reply
tried this but got Coercion failed message:
var arrayObj:*;
arrayObj=altArray.splice(altToTop,1);
AlternativeGUI(arrayObj); //coercion failed
var newlength:int=altArray.unshift(arrayObj);
All objects held by altArray are subclasses of AlternativeGUI
However, even simpler to avoid that untyped arrayObj returned
by the splice:
altArray.unshift(altArray[altToTop]);
altArray.splice(altToTop+1,1);
now it works!

TypeError: Error #1006: getDataHigh no es una función

Hi my code is telling me that getDataHigh is not a function when it is.
I am using this on a container mc
               e.target.loader.content.getData(this.currentLibraryName, this.definitionsArray); // this info is passed to the getData in the game
                e.target.loader.content.getDataHigh(this.level, this.lesson);
Don't know if I am allowed to use e.target.loader twice with two different functions that are targeted within the two movies that are targeted.
So the game that is loaded and targeted has the function
public function getDataHigh(pNivel:uint, pLesson:uint) {
            this.nivel = pNivel;
            this.lesson = pLesson;
            var rutaXML:URLRequest = new URLRequest("data/level" + this.nivel + "/lesson" + this.lesson + "/lessonT.xml");
            var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(rutaXML);
            xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteXmlLoader);
            this.final_mc.avatar_mc.gotoAndStop(this.avatarID + 1);
Looks good to me but then everything always does.

then you're out of scope of your function when you're trying to call it. or, you need to explicitly cast your content as the correct class type:
TheClassWithgetDataHighMethod(e.target.loader.content).getDataHigh(this.level, this.lesson);

Error #1006: value is not a function

I'm trying to port a big library to Alchemy. I've run into something that looks like an Alchemy bug. I have a class with a static member. There's a static function that uses it. Something like this:
In foo.h:
    class Foo
        static Bar m_pBar;
        static void doSomething (int a);
In foo.cpp:
    Bar Foo::m_pBar;
    void Foo::doSomething (int a)
        m_pBar.doSomething(a);
When I do Foo::doSomething(a), I get TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
On the other hand, if I use a local variable of the same type in the static function (just to test), it works :
    void Foo::doSomething (int a)
        // Test
        Bar pBarTest;
        pBarTest.doSomething(a);
So my guess is that the static variable is not being initialized. This works fine when compiled with g++ in Linux and Mac and with Visual C++ 2008 in Windows so it looks like Alchemy is doing something wrong.
Has anyone encountered this same issue?

Ignore, it was something in the called class, oops

Error 1006 function issue

Hi i'm new to actionscript. I'm trying to resize a movieclip when I click on it and I'm getting the following error:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/resize_fn()
here is my code
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,size_fn,false,0,true)
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,resize_fn,false,0,true)
function size_fn(e:MouseEvent):void{
circle.width(3);
circle.height(3);
function resize_fn(e:MouseEvent):void{
circle.width(1.1);
circle.height(1.1);
any idea what i'm doing wrong?
thanks in advanced

Chamces are the problems are where you treat width and height as functions rather than properties...
circle.width(3);
circle.height(3);
you normally assign values to the width and height properties, they are not functions...
circle.width = 3;
circle.height = 3;
though I suspect you are not intending to set them to such small values... may you are trying to scale them??? (if so use scaleX and scaleY properties instead of width and height)

Trying to solve #Error 1006

I posted a file earlier today (upgrading from AS2 to A S3), which was solved.
I am trying to reuse the code by attaching a button the allows the viewer to move to the nextFrame and experience the Writing Effect but with new copy.
It works but I keep getting the dreaded #1006 error. I keep commenting out parts but nothing changes. When I DEBUG it seems to reference
frame 2 line 36 which is related to the sound.
TypeError: Error #1006: stop is not a function.
    at Write_AS3_fla::MainTimeline/onTimerB()
    at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
    at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
I appreciate the help.
This is the code, which has been modified by placing "A" or "B" to alter it.
stop();
var strA:String = " Hello There";
var timerA:Timer = new Timer(1);
timerA.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);
timerA.start();
var countA:Number = 0;
//creating an instance for sound
var sA:type = new type();
var schannelA:SoundChannel;
function onTimerB(event:TimerEvent):void {
    if(count == 0) {
        schannelA = sA.play(0,1000);
    theText.text = strA.substring(0,count);
    count += 2;
    if(count > strA.length) {
        timerA.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);
        schannelA = sA.stop();

The solution hasn't changed... The Sound class does not have a stop() method. The SoundChannel class does, which is why you assign the play() method to a SoundChannel object variable (play() returns a SoundChannel object)...
var strA:String = " Hello There";
var timerA:Timer = new Timer(1);
timerA.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);
timerA.start();
var countA:Number = 0;
//creating an instance for sound
var sA:type = new type();
var schannelA:SoundChannel;
function onTimerB(event:TimerEvent):void {
    if(count == 0) {
        schannelA = sA.play(0,1000);
    theText.text = strA.substring(0,count);
    count += 2;
    if(count > strA.length) {
        timerA.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);
        schannelA.stop();

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:

    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?

    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
    at Away3dProject()[C:\Users\ahmed\Desktop\3d\Away3dProject.as:17]
error number 65 in Away3dScene is: _flare.setHaloAsset(new Halo());
error number 44 in Away3dScene is: initObjects();
error number 17 in Away3dProject.as is: addChild(scene);
and the last error is: at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
But what is strange i test project at flash builder and he work fine, i just want move from flash builder to run in flash cs5.5, so i move Away3dProject.as, Away3dScene.as, and i add Away3d classes to flash cs5.5 and also   add net class to flash cs5.5.

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;
