1120: Access of undefined property currentTime.

Report · Jan 17, 2017

Yes, Script number 2 is also causing the above issue. Animate cc 2017 Action script 3.0 Thanks again for looking

import flash.utils.Timer;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;

import flash.text.TextFieldType;

var clockface:MovieClip;

var timedisplay:TextField;

var ticker:Timer = new Timer(250);

ticker.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);

ticker.start();

function onTick(e:TimerEvent):void {

currentTime = new Date();

var seconds:uint = currentTime.getSeconds();

var minutes:uint = currentTime.getMinutes();

var hours:uint = currentTime.getHours();

clockface.secondhand.rotation = 360 + (seconds * 6);

clockface.minutehand.rotation = 360 + (minutes * 6);

clockface.hourhand.rotation = 360 + (hours * 30) + (minutes * 0.5);

var displayMinutes:String = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : "" + minutes;

timedisplay.text = hours + ":" + displayMinutes;

var displayMinutes:String = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : "" + minutes;

timeDisplay.text = hours + ":" + displayMinutes;

}

errors are:

Scene 1, Layer 'action', Frame 1, Line 16, Column 10 1120: Access of undefined property currentTime.

Scene 1, Layer 'action', Frame 1, Line 17, Column 25 1120: Access of undefined property currentTime.

OK,

Some important thing

On your stage you have to prepare:

MovieClip (clockface) and inside: secondhand, minutehand and hourhand MovieClips as well

You need text frame (Dynamic text Field) with instance name timeDisplay

You prepared some mistakes (duplicate variables, and no variable definitione)

then use this code

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.text.TextFieldType;

var clockface:MovieClip;
var timedisplay:TextField;
var ticker:Timer = new Timer(250);
var currentTime // variable declaration

ticker.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);
ticker.start();

function onTick(e:TimerEvent):void {
     currentTime = new Date();
     var seconds:uint = currentTime.getSeconds();
     var minutes:uint = currentTime.getMinutes();
     var hours:uint = currentTime.getHours();
     clockface.secondhand.rotation = 360 + (seconds * 6); // remember MovieClips here
     clockface.minutehand.rotation = 360 + (minutes * 6);
     clockface.hourhand.rotation = 360 + (hours * 30) + (minutes * 0.5);
     var displayMinutes:String = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : "" + minutes;
     timeDisplay.text = hours + ":" + displayMinutes; // text Field here
}

it would be better to specify class type for currentTime:

var currentTime:Date;

// though if you're doing that it makes sense to declare seconds, minutes and hours outside onTick, too.

and timedisplay is not the same as timeDisplay and you either need to use the 'new' constructor to create a textfield or create one on stage with the text tool. in either case, use a consistent name.

import flash.utils.Timer;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;

import flash.text.TextFieldType;

var clockface:MovieClip;

//var timedisplay:TextField=new TextField(); //add it if you're going to do this

var ticker:Timer = new Timer(250);

var currentTime:Date;

var seconds:uint;

var minutes:uint;

var hours:uint

ticker.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);

ticker.start();

function onTick(e:TimerEvent):void {

currentTime = new Date();

seconds = currentTime.getSeconds();

minutes = currentTime.getMinutes();

hours = currentTime.getHours();

clockface.secondhand.rotation = 360 + (seconds * 6);

clockface.minutehand.rotation = 360 + (minutes * 6);

clockface.hourhand.rotation = 360 + (hours * 30) + (minutes * 0.5);

var displayMinutes:String = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : "" + minutes;

timedisplay.text = hours + ":" + displayMinutes;

var displayMinutes:String = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : "" + minutes;

// timeDisplay.text = hours + ":" + displayMinutes; // this needs to be fixed

}

This was very helpful, my only error now seems to be timeDisplay.text = hours + ":" + displayMinutes;. any thoughts?

you can remove it - it's duplicated

But please remember to add dynamic text field on stage and give it the instanece name: timeDisplay
