TypeError: Error #1009... did I call the AS correctly?

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at com.greensock::TweenLite/init()

at com.greensock::TweenLite/renderTime()

at com.greensock.core::SimpleTimeline/renderTime()

at com.greensock::TweenLite$/updateAll()

 

I have the AS3 com folder relative to the fla.

In my timeline I have this in first frame:

 

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

 

What do I need to do to get rid of the Error #1009?

 

Thanks!

You must be passing a null object as the target of your tween. Don't do that Make sure you're tweening an actual object.

Well, Im used to using "this" as in:

TweenLite.to(this, 0, {time:.1, delay:6 ,onComplete:nextFrame});

to add a delay at the end of an animation sequence.

 

What can I use with tweenLite to add a delay before the nextFrame without referencing a movie clip?

 

Thanks!

Is the code on the timeline? Have you tried this?:

 

import com.greensock.TweenLite;
stop();
TweenLite.delayedCall(6, nextFrame);

 

If you're still having trouble, please post a sample FLA that demonstrates the issue. (don't forget to zip it before posting)

Yes, that part is working. Big thanks!

 

Im now trying to figure out how to get the syntax right at the end of my timeline where I have the last frame tell it:

 

TweenLite.to(this,  {delay:6 ,onComplete:gotoAndPlay, onCompleteParams:["start"]});

 

So, I have to kill the "this" and rethink the syntax of the rest.

 

Love to have your input, since this is my last error.

TweenLite.delayedCall(6, gotoAndPlay, ["start"]);
