ArgumentError: Error #1063

[WatsonjWT2013]

Well, it seems I've got this error in my game I'm creating (it's my first).

The full error is:

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on Bumper(). Expected 2, got 0.

This show's up when I enter frame 3 (frame 1 is start, frame 2 is Level select, frame 3 is game).

My entire code for frame 3 is:

}

And the Bumper Class is:

package  {
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          import flash.events.Event;
          public class Bumper extends MovieClip{
                    public function Bumper(xLocation:int, yLocation:int) {
                              // constructor code
                              x = xLocation;
                              y = yLocation;
                              addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, bumper);
                    }
                    public function bumper(e:Event):void{
                              //code here
                    }
          }
}

Please help me, I don't really understand the error. I tried reading documentation on it but I just got confused.

[kglad]

there's no problem with that code (with respect to the posted error).

to confirm, place a trace in your addBumper function that will probably show the posted code is not being used.

[WatsonjWT2013]

Well. I'm confused then.Because when I go from Frame 1 to 3 it gives me this (The entire error)

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on Bumper(). Expected 2, got 0.

          at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()

          at Sidescroller_fla::MainTimeline/beginGame()

beginGame isn't found anywhere..

gotoAndPlay is what I use when you click the New Game button on Frame 1

Edit:

Upon adding this trace:

trace("Being Used");

It output that text 8 times. 4 enemies, and 2 bumpers for each.

click file>publish settings>swf and tick "permit debugging". retest.

copy and paste the complete error message.

indicate the lines of code referenced in the error message.

- it changed because I was trying to get cookies to work.

[kglad · Accepted solution]

you have a movieclip with class = Bumper on frame 5.  that's the problem.

[WatsonjWT2013]

What's the solution?

[kglad]

1. don't use a movieclip with class = Bumper

2. don't use parameters in the Bumper class constructor

3 assign parameters in the class constructor default values.

[WatsonjWT2013]

I need the bumper to create wall objects for the Enemy's in game or else they just float off.

[kglad]

what's that have to do with 2 or 3?

[WatsonjWT2013]

I have absolutly no clue, I'm new to packaging and everything.

Usually I make everything in a single .fla file

[kglad]

there's no code shown by you that uses the two parameters passed in the constructor. so, it's not clear that's needed, at all.

but, if it is, try:

package  {
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          import flash.events.Event;

          public class Bumper extends MovieClip{
                    public function Bumper(xLocation:int=0, yLocation:int=0) {
                              // constructor code

if(this.stage){

x=this.x;

y=this.y;

} else {
                              x = xLocation;
                              y = yLocation;
}
                              addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, bumper);
                    }


                    public function bumper(e:Event):void{
                              //code here
                    }
          }

}

[WatsonjWT2013]

Thank you a lot. This actually solved like 5 other bugs I had

[kglad]

you're welcome.
