trying to solve #Error 1006

[Guest]

I posted a file earlier today (upgrading from AS2 to A S3), which was solved.

I am trying to reuse the code by attaching a button the allows the viewer to move to the nextFrame and experience the Writing Effect but with new copy.

It works but I keep getting the dreaded #1006 error. I keep commenting out parts but nothing changes. When I DEBUG it seems to reference

frame 2 line 36 which is related to the sound.

TypeError: Error #1006: stop is not a function.
    at Write_AS3_fla::MainTimeline/onTimerB()
    at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
    at flash.utils::Timer/tick()

I appreciate the help.

This is the code, which has been modified by placing "A" or "B" to alter it.

stop();

var strA:String = " Hello There";

var timerA:Timer = new Timer(1);

timerA.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);

timerA.start();

var countA:Number = 0;

//creating an instance for sound

var sA:type = new type();
var schannelA:SoundChannel;

function onTimerB(event:TimerEvent):void {

    if(count == 0) {

        schannelA = sA.play(0,1000);

    }

    theText.text = strA.substring(0,count);

    count += 2;

    if(count > strA.length) {

        timerA.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);

        schannelA = sA.stop();

    }
   
}

The solution hasn't changed... The Sound class does not have a stop() method.  The SoundChannel class does, which is why you assign the play() method to a SoundChannel object variable (play() returns a SoundChannel object)...

var strA:String = " Hello There";

var timerA:Timer = new Timer(1);

timerA.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);

timerA.start();

var countA:Number = 0;

//creating an instance for sound

var sA:type = new type();
var schannelA:SoundChannel;

function onTimerB(event:TimerEvent):void {

    if(count == 0) {

        schannelA = sA.play(0,1000);

    }

    theText.text = strA.substring(0,count);

    count += 2;

    if(count > strA.length) {

        timerA.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerB);

        schannelA.stop();

    }
   
}

I finall had a chance to get back to this project. Thanks, that was it. For some reason I did not see that mistake until it's pointed out.

However, once I ran it I got the #1009 error. After commenting out each line I still found that things were off. The sound went crazy or there was no type.

I focused on the - var countA:Number = 0;               The first section of code was - var count:Number=0;

I changed the word entirely to - var once:Number = 0;

Now everything works great No Errors.

So What's up with that. Is AS3 that sensitive to naming.

Once again Thanks
