[Laur3nt1u]

I have some problems with this Download EDIT : http://www.box.net/shared/73k2v3zrgmqd6g3mp9vg

 

I want to make 3 movie clips to play random but I have some problems

 

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

at com.greensock::TweenLite/init()

at com.greensock::TweenMax/init()

at com.greensock::TweenMax/renderTime()

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

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

 

can you please look at the code.....

 

thx

when running your swf and clicking on something I got this error:

 

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

at pjt_fla::cap_3/dow2()

I hunted down dow2() in cap_3.

 

I got as far as looking at the cap_3 movie clip with 4 frames that contained up to 60 lines of very similar code.

 

inside that 60 lines of code I found dow2 with a bunch of functions nested inside of each other that contain many objects.

 

function dow2():void {

cap_nu11.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, lovit2);

function lovit2(event:MouseEvent):void{

	var mySound:Sound = new punch();
	var myChannel:SoundChannel = mySound.play();
	cap_nu12.visible = true;
	cap_nu11.visible = false;
	splat2.visible = true;
	//var vi = MovieClip(parent).viata;
	//MovieClip(parent).viata = vi + 1;
	tl2.insert(TweenMax.to(splat2, speed2 + 0.2, {alpha:0, visible:0, onComplete: do2}));

	function do2():void{
		tl2.insert(TweenMax.to(cap_nu12, speed2 + 0.1, {y:220.80, delay: speed2 + .3, onComplete: goto2}));
	}
}

var rade2:Number = random2(2,4);

tl2.insert(TweenMax.to(cap_nu11, 0.4 , {y:229.25, delay:rade2, onComplete: goto2}));
}

in short, it would take someone like me hours to figure out what exactly the null object is.

 

i also see that the error you got is different than mine.

 

All I can tell you is that these 1009 null object reference errors simply mean that you are trying to run some sort of operation on something that doesn't exist.

 

most of the time it is because a symbol has the wrong instance name or you mis-typed something.

 

In your case it may be that there is a scope issue because so many functions are living inside each other.

 

 

Sorry I can't be of more help.

 

The swf did seem to run ok until I started clicking on things.

I've edit the code is working a while but after few clicks it crash I think

I've check the code.. I don't have null objects and I use TweenMax no TweenLite... what is wrong?! it can't handle the animations and crash?!

I hate to say it, but I doubt the compiler is wrong.

 

What you can do to find the null object is try to trace out every element that you are tweening right before the tween takes place.

 

for instance:

 

function do2():void{

trace(cap_nu12);

tl2.insert(TweenMax.to(cap_nu12, speed2 + 0.1, {y:220.80, delay: speed2 + .3, onComplete: goto2}));

}

 

do this for every tween in the script that is causing the error

when you test your movie you will get a trace of null for the object that isn't found.

[Laur3nt1u]

I've check all and there are no null obj... but I think I found the problem

 

this are in the same function

 

TweenMax.to(splat1, 0.3, {alpha:0, visible:0});

TweenMax.to(cap_bun12, speed1 + 0.1, {y:220.80, delay: speed1 + 0.2, onComplete: goto1});

 

and I have to set a delay for cap_bun12 to complete after splat1 if cap_bun12 completes will goto1 and goto1 is a function that change the keyframe so the tween for splash1 can be done....

 

till now is good... will see tomorrow
