R – Problem with components after migration project from Flash CS3 to CS4

actionscriptflash

I start flash as3 project on Flash CS3, about one year ago. After compile it on CS4, I get this error (on Russian):

TypeError: Error #1009: Не удается вызвать свойство или метод со ссылкой на объект "null".
    at fl.controls::TextArea/drawLayout()
    at fl.controls::TextArea/draw()
    at fl.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()

But I get this error only in browser (FlashPlayer10), if I run inside Flash CS4 – all works fine.

And I get this error then the MovieClip with TextArea added on stage.

Silly question, but is the TextArea component still in the library ? Try to delete it and drag it again from the Components Panel.

When exactly does the error occur ? As soon as you access the TextArea ? When you try to retrieve/set the text ?

R – Adding Flash Components to Stage Dynamically from AS3 File

That is true, Think of the UI Components in Flash as made of 2 parts:

The classes that manage the components
The visual assets of the components.

When you import the classes from actionscript alone, they will be missing the visual elements that go hand in hand with that, so just drag the List component to the Library and you should be fine.

Actionscript 3: gotoAndStop

An onEnterFrame listener was called and not removed that was referencing an object (bg) that was not on the stage after the goto call.

function tohallwayClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
    **removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterF);**
    gotoAndStop(141);
}
