Question on TypeError + looking for AS3 for mouse movement scroll

Report · Oct 13, 2009

Hello!

My head is spinning trying to figure out this TypeError which comes up when 2 (seniors, artistic) of my 3 active sub-buttons is clicked, but not the 3rd (commercial).

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

at TNTstudios_fla::pageSeniors_54/frame1()

at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()

at TNTstudios_fla::MainTimeline/seniorsPg()

Also, been looking for AS3 for mouse movement scrolling (my thumb panel includes a mask), but seem to find only as2.

If someone could help I would greatly appreciate! I am new to AS3 so forgive my scripting. Probably longer than should be.

Thanks!

Additional info: my thumbnail movie clip is on submenu pages(movie clips) within a content_mc.

Thanks!

click file/publish settings/flash and tick "permit debugging". retest.

the line number that contains the error will be in the error message. if you still need help beyond that, copy and paste the line of code referenced in the error message.

Thanks kglad,

That did help. Here is the code that came up:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

at TNTstudios_fla::pageSeniors_54/frame1()[TNTstudios_fla.pageSeniors_54::frame1:10]

at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()

at TNTstudios_fla::MainTimeline/seniorsPg()[TNTstudios_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:97]

I went to frame 10 in my pageSeniors_mc and deleted it:

thmbSen_mc.thmb10_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pic10);

& the button function:

(function pic10(e:MouseEvent):void

{

picSen_mc.gotoAndPlay("pic10");

}

and no error! But, why would it give me an error with 10 buttons & not 9? Don't understand! Could you shed some light?

Thanks a bunch!

probably because there's no thmbSen_mc.thmb10_btn. if you have 10 buttons, are they named:

thmbSen_mc.thmb0_btn,thmbSen_mc.thmb1_btn,...,thmbSen_mc.thmb9_btn

Sorry for wasting your time on the last reply. I discovered the problem. It was stupidity on my part. I went back & checked my thumb_btn's & number 10 didn't have an instance name.

I could still use help on the mouse movement scroll though. I am trying to get my thumb buttons to scroll vertically on mouse move (top of panel, bottom of panel)

Thanks for your help!
