TypeError: Error #1085: Actionscript 3 videoplayer
Hi
I have a videoplayer that loads video from xml and players it. The code works well when loading the xml.
But because I need it to run the video on the server I user php code that echos xml to access videos:
$selectvideos=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Videos");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>\n";
echo "<playlist id=\"output applications\">\n";
while($milo=mysql_fetch_assoc($selectvideos))
$title=$milo['title'];
$desc=$milo['desc'];
$src=$milo['video'];
$thumbphoto=$milo['thumb'];
echo '<vid Title="'.$title.'" Description="'.$desc.'" src="'.$src.'" thumb="'.$thumbphoto.'" />'."\n";
echo "</playlist>\n";
I then have actionscript:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.controls.listClasses.CellRenderer;
import fl.controls.ScrollBarDirection;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import fl.controls.TextArea;
public class VideoPlaylist extends MovieClip {
private var xmlLoader:URLLoader;
private var textStyle:TextFormat;
private var description:TextArea;
public var str:String;
var stream:Array = new Array();
public function VideoPlaylist():void {
// Load the playlist file, then initialize the media player.
xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, initMediaPlayer);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("testflow.php"));
public function initMediaPlayer(event:Event):void {
var myXML:XML=new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var item:XML;
for each (item in myXML.vid) {// populate playlist.
// Get thumbnail value and assign to cellrenderer.
var thumb:String;
if (item.hasOwnProperty("@thumb")>0) {
thumb=item.@thumb;
}// Send data to tileList.
stream.push({label:item.attribute("Title").toXMLString(),str:item.attribute("Description" ).toXMLString(),
data:item.attribute("src").toXMLString(),
source:thumb});
myVid.source=stream[0].data;
// Pause video until selected or played.
myVid.play();
The action script is suppose to play the file loaded by xml and plays it on videoplayer.
The xml works well but when using the php above this error pops up:
TypeError: Error #1085: The element type "param" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</param>".

Hello,
I've posted a question on dreamweaver forums, but it seems its not easy to solve this one
does anyone had this error when loading data from database in serverside, but working on localhost? I mean, when running my app on mamp (on mac) or mamp (unther windows xp), i get no errors, not even a warning using flash tracer to acomplish developing.
when uploading this to real server, two diferent ones, I get this error... checking google, it seems it is a bad xml formating issue, something like an missing tag, but again, the same code runs nice on localhost...
what can it be?
could this be a time issue? I'm not an expert on php, how to add a timer to make sure my function is finished?
Thanks!
sample code at
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2059387#2059387got it!
or better, it works, but i don't really know why...
i changed the function order inside php
in spite of having
ffunction getFamilias($tabela, $nivel = 0)
and then
function getSubFamilias($tabela, $id, $nivel)
i did
function getSubFamilias($tabela, $id, $nivel)
function getFamilias($tabela, $nivel = 0)
Thanks for reply :-) -

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 ? -
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.

TypeError: Error #1034: Typumwandlung fehlgeschlagen: flash.display::AVM1Movie@34d4df9 kann nicht in flash.display.MovieClip umgewandelt werden.
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,
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? -

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 #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
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
import gs.TweenMax;
import gs.plugins.BlurFilterPlugin;
//Save the content’s and mask’s height.
//Assign your own content height here!!
var RESUMECONTENT_HEIGHT:Number = 1500;
var RESUME_HEIGHT:Number = 450;
//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

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;

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();

Can anyone throw any light on this obscure Flex error?...
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

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 ????

TypeError: Error #1009 on FLVPlayback
I've been struggling with this error for a few days now, I can't seem to figure out what is actually going wrong.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at fl.video::UIManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::hookUpCustomComponents()

at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
The app is one for a tourist centre, with an intro video that can be skipped by being clicked, which leads to a four options menu, of which two options lead you to frames with intro videos which can also be bypassed by a simple click. All three intro videos use the FLVPlayback 2.5 component. The app runs without any issues, even playing the videos with no problem, until, seemingly at random intervals, this error will occur. It does, however, only occur at the start or end of a video. I have had trouble tracing the error. It causes the program to become unresponsive at seemingly random intervals while the program is being used, or even if it's just running looping video. If I dismiss the error, the program will continue to run without any further issues, except for this error, which can be in turn dismissed, etc... However, when it is installed on the system it simply becomes unresponsive since dismissing it is not an option. I have not been able to catch or trace this error or its source. Any ideas? I'll attatch the code from one of my frames with the FLVPlayback, since that seems to be where the error is.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.video.*;
var heritageVideo:FLVPlayback = heritage_sequence;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoHeritageHistory);
stop();
heritageVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, gotoHeritageTwo);
function gotoHeritageHistory(evt:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(6);
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoHeritageHistory);
heritageVideo.removeEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, gotoHeritageTwo);
heritageVideo.stop();
heritageVideo.visible = false;
function gotoHeritageTwo(evt:VideoEvent):void
gotoAndStop(6);
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoHeritageHistory);
heritageVideo.removeEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, gotoHeritageTwo);
heritageVideo.visible = false;
This is my first real as3 work, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something obvious, and I do hope that's the case. Let me know if you have any ideas!Hi,
From the error, it looks like you're trying to manipulate something that isn't initialized yet. I'm not very familiar with Flash professional (I do my work using Flash Builder), would you mind posting this over on the Flash forums? You'll probably get a much better response over there.
Thanks,

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... -

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...
