Error #1123: Filter operator not supported on type class flash.display.MovieClip.

I keep getting this output error code:

TypeError: Error #1123: Filter operator not supported on type class flash.display.MovieClip.
at Phoenix_fla::LaunchDeckSystem_9/showLD2()


against my AS3 code: Exhibit A

hit_Area.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, showLD2);
hit_Area.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hideLD2);


function showLD2 (e:MouseEvent):void {
		LD2nd.visible = true;
		MovieClip.(parent).worpan.visible=false;
}

function hideLD2 (e:MouseEvent):void {
		LD2nd.visible = false;		
}

Exhibit B

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, showLD2);

function showLD2 (e:MouseEvent):void {
		if (mouseY >= 614){
		LD2nd.visible = true;
		}else 
		{
		LD2nd.visible = false;
		MovieClip.(parent).worpan.visible=true;
		}
}

Pretty basic coding logic it would seem, but it would only execute partially and continuously throw out a confusing output error code as seen above to which I have, close to 3 days been trying to figure out what I did wrong by exploring other approaches like in "Exhibit B" but all to no avail. I am average in my grasp and understanding of AS3. I would be grateful if someone can help show me where I'm wrong cuz this has almost made me miserable.

I wonder if this is the solution: [RESOLVED] Error #1123: Filter operator not supported on type

[Solowalker]

Nope, it doesn't work, no change whatsoever.

What did you try to do, I was actually referring to this post: http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...=1#post4258477

[Solowalker]

import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;

I slotted in the above code into the movieclip's timeline but didn't see any result.

Hi,

Try coding like so

MovieClip(parent)

instead of

MovieClip.(parent)

but do try

(root) instead of (parent)

if you have no luck attach your *.fla or a make shift one so we can see your layout

Thanks sooo much. It worked, phew! It's just crazy how just one dot can almost kill a person with a depression loll. I am really grateful
