Error #1009, Dynamic MovieClips dont want to work
ok so i have a lil or big problem, im practicing on how to do websites in flash cs4 using AS3.0, so im doin a basic dynamic test website, all the codes seem to be fine because i dont get any compilers errors. but one Error that is driving me nuts is the Error #1009 which says.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at fl.transitions::Tween/setPosition()
at fl.transitions::Tween/set position()
at fl.transitions::Tween()
at bringinmctostageas2_fla::MainTimeline/onClick()
i read already that it might be that im calling something by the wrong name, or that i misspelled something. but to my knowledge everything seem good, i did everything twice before asking for help, but i couldnt fix it.. i hope some1 here can help me out.
This is my code:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
home_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
contact_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
about_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
products_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
home_mc.buttonMode = true;
contact_mc.buttonMode = true;
about_mc.buttonMode = true;
products_mc.buttonMode = true;
home_mc.mcTarget = home
contact_mc.mcTarget = contact
about_mc.mcTarget = about
products_mc.mcTarget = products
/*the current and nextpage are variables that are going to
help us go from one page to the other, instead of making each
button go to a different page, in other words is going to keep
track of what page we're on and what page we're going to*/
var currentPage:MovieClip = home;
var nextPage:MovieClip;
/*to be able to bring the movieclips into the stage i need to,
first give the movieclips class names and then import then
into the stage by using variables*/
var home:homePage = new homePage();
var contact:contactPage = new contactPage();
var about:aboutPage = new aboutPage();
var products:productsPage = new productsPage();
/*by default the home page is going to animate in*/
home.alpha = 0;
home.x = 20;
home.y = 60;
addChild(home);
/*this is to make the movieclip fade in, i need to create a new tween
and then specify what i want to do with it. */
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(home,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,3,true);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
/*the nextPage = e.currentTarget.mcTarget is to trigger the onClick function
to go and play the next page page because the mcTarget is any of the pages
cause thats what we called it a the top*/
nextPage = e.currentTarget.mcTarget
var offTween:Tween = new Tween(currentPage,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,1,0,3,true);
offTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, onTween);
}
/*if i want to remove somethin from the stage i need to use the removeChild
and then specify what i want it to do*/
function onTween(e:TweenEvent):void
{
/*removeChild(currentPage) is to remove the current page, which the properties are
from the home_mc which are going to apply to all the other pages, and the current
page then its going to and fade out, because of the next page funciton above.*/
removeChild(home);
currentPage = nextPage
currentPage.alpha = 0;
currentPage.x = 20;
currentPage.y = 60;
addChild(currentPage);
var tweenOn:Tween = new Tween(currentPage,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,1,true);
}
thankx in advance
