TypeError: Error

I have no idea what is wrong, I have checked for typos and everything else I can think of.
The game needs to be handed in tomorrow so help is appreciated!
These are the two errors I receive

  • 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,
    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?

    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;

        at peakInsights_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[peakInsights_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:48]
    I guess it's telling me there's a problem with line 48 but what?
    The home, about, business, contact, and archives button works. 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.

  • 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.

    //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
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopResumescroll);
    //This function is called when the user is dragging the scrollMC
    function startResumescroll(e:Event):void {
    //Set Resumescrolling to true
    Resumescrolling = true;

    Hi again,
    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;
    //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
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopResumescroll);
    //This function is called when the user is dragging the scrollMC
    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();
    //Add ENTER_FRAME to animate the scroll
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterResumeHandler);
    //This function is called in each frame
    function enterResumeHandler(e:Event):void {
    //Check if we are Resumescrolling

    //We subtract the mask's height from the contentHeight.
    //Otherwise the content would move too far up when we scroll down.
    //Remove the subraction to see for yourself!

    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...

  • Adobe Air + Box2D.swc = TypeError: Error #1009 // New way to handle .swc files in Flash for iOS Apps?

    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.

      at misc::Entity/handleAddedToStage()
    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
    Jan

    Update:
    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: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at PvTest/onRenderTick()[D:\Android 3D\PvTest\src\PvTest.as:39]
    Can anyone help me figure out the error
    For additional Info, these are the imports i am doing:
    import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
    import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;

    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.

  • 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 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>

  • 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.

    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

         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,

    so, 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.
