I've just only began learning AS3 as I have to create a simple game for an assignment, I have two objects named obj_laser and obj_enemy1 but when I run the collision code I created, it keeps coming up with the error 1009. Here is some of the code and I know its messy.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, runGame);
function runGame(event: Event): void {
//Fire Laser
LASERALARM++;
if (LASERALARM >= 10) {
var laser: obj_laser = new obj_laser
var laser2: obj_laser = new obj_laser
var flare: obj_flare = new obj_flare
var flare2: obj_flare = new obj_flare
laser.x = obj_spaceship.x + 12
laser.y = obj_spaceship.y
laser2.x = obj_spaceship.x - 12
laser2.y = obj_spaceship.y
addChild(laser);
addChild(laser2);
flare.x = obj_spaceship.x + 12
flare.y = obj_spaceship.y
flare2.x = obj_spaceship.x - 12
flare2.y = obj_spaceship.y
addChild(flare);
addChild(flare2);
LASERALARM = 0;
//Move Laser
laser.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveLaser);
function moveLaser(event: Event): void {
laser.y -= 5;
laser2.y -= 5;
}
}
//Spawn Enemies
ENEMYALARM++
if (ENEMYALARM >= (randomRange(100, 400))) {
var enemy1: obj_enemy1 = new obj_enemy1
enemy1.x = (randomRange(15, 165));
enemy1.y = -10;
addChild(enemy1);
ENEMYALARM = 0;
//Move Enemy
enemy1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveEnemy);
function moveEnemy(event: Event): void {
enemy1.y += 2;
}
if (laser.hitTestObject(enemy1)) {
parent.removeChild(laser);
parent.removeChild(enemy1);
}
}
Essentially you are trying to do something with a variable that doesn't have a value.
Clicking on the error should take you to where it breaks down in the code. Further to that, start tracing out your variables at different points of the code to try and nail it down.

I'm currently trying to remove a graphic 'lose_mc' that i added to the scene using addChild.
When trying to use removeChild when the user clicks the next level_btn, this error appears:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.

Any one has any ideas of why this isn't working? This is my code at the minute.

That is not the area causing the problem because Flash clearly says:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/removeEventListener()
at Function/<anonymous>()
As we can see, the error is happening in removeEventListener.
removeEventListener takes two parameters: event and listener.
What we can also see, Flash says: parameter listener must be non-null.
That means that parameter listener passed to removeEventListener is null.
The part of your code that may cause the error is the following:
if (leafsOnstage.length <= 0) {
field1_txt.text = "You Win! You have collected enough leaves for the day.";
nextlevel_btn.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolINwin);
nextlevel_btn.alpha = 0;
function fl_FadeSymbolINwin(event:Event)
{
nextlevel_btn.alpha += 0.01;
if(nextlevel_btn.alpha >= 1)
{
nextlevel_btn.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolIn);
}
}
First, you are adding listener fl_FadeSymbolINwin, but you remove a different listener fl_FadeSymbolIn. Second, for some reason you are declaring a function inside an if block. What you need to do is to get your code formatting right and check where and how you do removeEventListener's with what parameters. Trace them if needed.
Also I suggest using TweenLite (or even TweenNano) for fade effects. You won't have to mess with all these EventListeners. Your code for fading button would look as simple as this:
TweenNano.to(nextlevel_btn, 0.5, {alpha:1});
hey :S I`m trying to make 2 things so far but neither work :(
The 1st is to make an Row of 5 Ships that position them selves from the top to left.Then add an Event to make them move down.
But every time i try to make a new Row of 5 new ships ... they position themselves after the last ship from the previous Row.I did think of a way to fix that by waiting the 1st Row of ships to go beyond the stage and then remove them from the stage and splice from the Array but ... when I increase the speed of spawning (when i have 2 rows with 5 ships on the stage or more)that does't work.
And the second error I think is from that fact .... that I have 2 rows at the same time on the stage.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I dont know what exactly to paste from the code so i had to push everything in the MainClass of the FLA.fail :D but i did it neatly! so if anyone helped me he would track the code easily
so its a simple FLA.fail with 4 MC and in those 4 MC there is no code
a Bullet
a Ship with colour Yellow
a Ship2 with colour Green so i can see the randomising
and a Player with the class Turret
so the MainClass of the FLA is :

I dont know how to fix neither of the 2 problems.Would be very thankful for any help!!!
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys so Basically what I'm trying to do is when my player collides with all 5 of the points MovieClips in an array and the Goal Movie Clip i want a text to appear saying "Perfect. But i cant quite accomplish this. I set up the function and it seems like it would but i think what might be wrong is the hitTest with all the Movie clips in the array.
Here is how i set it up:
This is in my loop Function:
private function gameLoop(e:Event):void
{
perfectTextFunction();
}
This is the function:
private function perfectTextFunction():void
{
if (player.hitTestObject(mcGoal_1 && points))
{
trace("perfect Text");
mcPerfect = new perfectText();
mcPerfect.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2);
mcPerfect.y = (stage.stageHeight/ 2);
stage.addChild(mcPerfect);
}
}
The Trace doesn't pick anything up.
Here is how the points are added to the stage if needed:
public function addPointsToStage():void
{
for (var i = 0; i < nPoints; i++)
{
trace(aPointsArray.length);
points = new mcGainPoints();
stage.addChild(points);
points.x = startPoint.x + (xSpacing * i);
points.y = startPoint.y - (ySpacing * i);
aPointsArray.push(points);
}
}
Please any help would be appreciated! THank you!
VESPER here is how I made the NESTED LOOP:
//If all points are hit then Perfect Hit Text
if (player.hitTestObject(mcGoal_1 || mcGoal_2))
{
var weHitAll:Boolean = true;
for (var s in aPointsArray)
{
weHitAll = weHitAll && player.hitTestObject(aPointsArray[s]);
if (!weHitAll)
break;
}
if (weHitAll)
{
trace("perfect Hit");
mcPerfect = new perfectText();
mcPerfect.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2);
mcPerfect.y = (stage.stageHeight/ 2) - 80;
stage.addChild(mcPerfect);
nScore += 25;
updateHighScore();
}
}
var weHitAll:Boolean=true;
for (var s in aPointsArray) {
weHitAll = weHitAll&&player.hitTestObject(aPointsArray[s]);
if (!weHitAll) break; // missed one, drop cycle
}
if (weHitAll) {
trace('Perfect hit!');
... // etc
}
Function hitTestObject accepts only a single object as parameter, in order to check against an array you need to iterate through it, checking against one object at a time (here it's in aPointsArray[s]).
So Im new to AS3, trying to make a simple videogame for smartphones.
And it was all going smooth until I hit this problem.
I was using and manipulating objects from timeline without a problem and than all the sudden whatever I try I get the 1046.
Here is some code that gets an error:
mp = new MP_00();
And at the top I have this:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var mp:Movieclip;
And at the end this:
function mapMove(){
mp.y = mp.y - playerSpeed;
}
Im searching for a solution all the time, but nobody seems to have the same problem.
I do have AS linkage set to MP_00 and witch ever object I try to put in, it dosent work.
While objects put in on the same way before, they work.
For example I have this
var player:MovieClip;
player = new Player();
with AS Linkage set to Player, and that works.
This is all done in Flash Professional cs6
EDIT 1
full code
Keep in mind that a lot of stuff is placeholder or just not finished code.
On this code Im getting the error twice for the same object
Scene 1 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
MP_00.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 165 1046: Type was not
found or was not a compile-time constant: MP_00.
Thats the errors.

And Im sure theres some other bad code here but that doesent matter now.
Export for AS and AS Linkage is set:

EDIT: removed the 2nd var declaration, still get the same error.
It would be great if you give more code and explanations, but here what I found about 1046 :
"One reason you will get this error is if you have an object on the stage with the same name as an object in your library."
Look at : http://curtismorley.com/2007/06/20/flash-cs3-flex-2-as3-error-1046/
Did you search any explanation on the Web for code 1046 ? Have you checked this one ?
I see that you have two var mp declaration. Try to remove the first one, var mp:MovieClip;. If it doesn't work, check your Flash Library carefully, be sure that MP_00 is a name available. If it's a MovieClip, check that it is exported for ActionScript. If it's an instance name, check that it's not used twice.
EDIT.
My suggestion is :
1- Change all references of mp to mp1. Maybe there is a conflict with an instance "...an object on the stage with the same name as an object in your library."
2- var mp1:MP_00; instead of var mp:MovieClip; in the declaration section.
3- Put the mp1 = new MP_00(); back in the startGame() function
4- Be sure that your new mp1 variable is everywhere you need and you have no more ref. to mp variable.
If... it's still doesn't work. I suggest : Change the name of your MovieClip linkage, like TestA, or whatever. Yes I know, a doubt on everything, but there is no magic, testing everything will show the problem for sure.
EDIT.
For mapMove() function...
First : be sure the speedUp() function is available, not in comments, and call it in your playGame() function. Your playerSpeed variable must have a value, so change : var playerSpeed = playerSpeed + 1; for playerSpeed = playerSpeed + 1;. Do not use var declaration twice for the same variable. (See var playerSpeed:Number; in header file.)
Beside... you have to know if the MP_00 clip on stage is YOUR mp1 clip. (I assumed you published all the code you have.)
Case A : MP_00 is on stage when you start your Clip.
If you actually see your MP_00 on screen, that mean you don't have to do mp1 = new MP_00(); and addchild(mp1);. It's already done for you (dragging a clip from library and giving a name instance, is the same as doing new and addchild).
Find the instance name (or give one). You should get your instance name and move your object (here the instance name is mp1):
mp1.y = mp1.y - playerSpeed;
Case B : MP_00 is NOT on stage when you start your Clip.
Do :
1- your declaration : var mp1:MP_00;
2- allocation memory : mp1 = new MP_00();
3- add to the display list : addchild(mp1);
4- "Shake it bb" : mp1.y = mp1.y - playerSpeed; or mp1.y -= playerSpeed;
I don't know what is your knowledge level exactly, so I tried to put everything. Sorry if it's too much.
I'm creating a simple iPhone game (but the class I'm in is requiring me to use Flash...), and I'm having a major issue as I'm trying to remove objects from the game.
The game is somewhat of a dynamic time-wasting bubblewrap game where there are infinite "refreshes" of the stage. Once the user pops all the bubbles, more randomly generate. (When the array is empty, call the setup() again.)
For now, I have one of each five different colored bubble graphics pulled from the library by code and placed on the stage randomly. However, I don't like the overlap, so I've given each bubble a small square hitspace so when they're placed randomly and overlap significantly they pop themselves. For some reason when I'm trying to remove the bubbles it gives me
Error#2025 The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
I've tried adding stage to addChild and removeChild, but I get the same error.

You are adding b, b2, b3, etc to the stage, but removing them from whatever object is executing this code. Try changing
stage.addChild(b);
to
addChild(b);
Additionally, it is a good idea to check that an object is a child before removing it. Try changing
if (...)
removeChild(b);
to
if (contains(b) && ...)
removeChild(b);
The best way to solve this is:
mc.parent.removeChild(mc);
Basically, the removeChild function needs to be called from whatever display object that your soon to be removed object is in.
