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,
Brandon
Well, 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...

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.
at FC_Home_Ads_Holder_v2_fla::MainTimeline() "
Here are the files uploaded for your reference, please download this file http://www.touchpixl.com/ForumsAdobecom.zip

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. -

Of course the stage of the slideshow.swf is only for that file, and I'm importing this file into the_good_one.swf file, who has it's own stage... uuuuffff!!!

So, the question of the million dollars is... how do I fix that? I remember that I've read something about that in a post blog that talks about the DisplayList, do you know how to fix it? -

Throwing TypeError: Error #1009
Here is the zipped flash file, including necessary XMLs. ~30kb
Currently working on a game... and it's functioning as a game as it is.
But it's throwing some errors and cancels the creation of the words on occassion, more regularly as more words are on screen.
Here it is in it's current (but accellerated) state...
http://www.x1.ltd.uk/brooks_website/flashstuff/output/TextType2.3.1.swf
Looking at the bottom left hand corner after the game is started, you can see how many words are on screen.
As the word count gets higher, the speed the words are created at should also increase.
But, due to the errors, the opposite is currently true.
I believe that this is the code that is throwing the errors, as the more words that are on screen, the more likely that the random word has a letter currently already on screen, and so the loop will have to try again.
Any help on why the errors are being thrown would be appreciated.
Here is the zipped flash file, including necessary XMLs. ~30kbIt only throws every now and again... not every time.
More often the moer words there are on the screen..

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.

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!! -
TypeError: Error #1009: How do I find the exact line of the error?
I got the following error when testing a project:

at ProjectZ_iOS_fla::MainTimeline/goButtons()[ProjectZ_iOS_fla.MainTimeline::frame71:54]
I'm not sure how to read this as there is no "frame 71." Also, what does this mean, "MainTimeline::frame71:54"?flash is detecting code on frame 71 of your main timeline in ProjectZ_iOS.fla.
if you have scenes, the timeline in each scene is laid end-to-end and the frames are numbered sequentially. so, while you may not think you have a frame 71, flash does. -
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:

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 ? -
TypeError: Error #1009 - (Null reference error) With Flash.
I am not an expert in flash, but i do work with AS and tweak Flash projects , though not having deep expertise in it. Currently i need to revamp a flash website done by one another guy, and the code base given to me, upon execution is throwing the following error.
"--- TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at NewSite_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp_ContactOutP1_ContactOut_Contents_0() at NewSite_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() --"
The structure of the project is like, it has the different sections split into different movie clips. There is no single main timeline, but click actions on different areas of seperate movie clips will take them between one another. All the AS logic of event handling are written inline in FLA , no seperate Document class exists.
Preloader Movie clip is the first one getting loaded. As i understood the error is getting thrown initially itself, and it is not happening due to any Action script logic written inline, because it is throwing error even before hitting the first inline AS code.
I am not able to figure Out what exactly it causing the problem, or where to resolve it. I setup the stuff online, for reference if anybody want to take a look at it, and here is the link.You need to have flash debugger turned ON in your browser, if need to see the exception getting triggered.
http://tinyurl.com/2alvlfx
I really got stuck at this point. Any help will be great.I had not seen the particular solution i am looking for anywhere yet, though Error #1009 is common.Thanks, for putting effort in helping me. I debugged the movie.The line of code being shown is this >>
if(__setPropDict[ContactOutP1]== undefined || ! ((int(__setPropDict[ContactOutP1]) >= 1 && int(__setPropDict[ContactOutP1]) <=5))){
__setPropDict[ContactOutP1] = currentFrame;
__setProp_ContactOutP1_ContactOut_Contents_0();
And i think this third line of code is where the exception is being thrown. But as i understood, this code is not written by the developer. I had nto seen this code, anywhere in the actions. Hopefully this will give you hint about what is exactly causing the issue and what can be done to resolve it. -
Error 1009 / Using swf in Flex
Hi all.
I am creating a small Flex Application which will include a swf.
The application consists of two panels, with the left being a Flash app. As the user moves the mouse over the Flash, it should trigger different messages on the right panel.
A screenshot is attached to get an idea of what I'm aiming for.
This is the error I'm getting:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flash_component_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Additionally, I'm struggling with two things:
How do I get the output panel to display in the Rockwell font
How do I get the Flash part to send the mouse position to the Flex?

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? -

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.
