ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on Number.

Hi, I have an AS3 script that calls an XML but when compiling I get this error

ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on Number.
at mod::ML/parseData()
at mng::DM/onXMLLoaded()

Here are some snippets

the first script that defines the XML

        private function addedToStageHandler(event:Event = null) : void
        {
            var _loc_2:* = Application.getInstance();
            Application.xmlPath = "xml/soc.xml";
            _loc_2.initialize(this);
            return;
        }

here is the ML one

    public class Model extends EventDispatcher implements IModel
    {
        public var social:Social;

        public function Model()
        {
            return;
        }

        public function parseSocialData(param1:XML) : void
        {
            this.social = new Social(param1);
            this.socialSection.social = this.social;
            return;
        }

        public function getSectionData(param1:String) : Absec

        {
            var _loc_2:Absec = null;
            switch(param1)
                case "SocialSection":
                {
                    _loc_2 = this.socialSection;
                    break;
                }

            return _loc_2;

        }

        public function parseData(param1:XML) : void
        {

            this.socialSection = new SocialSection(XML(_loc_3));
            var _loc_4:int = 0;
            var _loc_5:* = xml.sections.section;
            var _loc_3:* = new XMLList("");
            for each (_loc_6 in _loc_5)
            {
               
                var _loc_7:* = _loc_5[_loc_4];
                with (_loc_5[_loc_4])
                {
                    if (@id == "SocialSection")
                    {
                        _loc_3[_loc_4] = _loc_6;
                    }
                }
            }

         }

here is the DM one

        private function onXMLLoaded(event:Event) : void
        {
            var _loc_2:* = new XML(event.target.data);
            this.model.parseData(_loc_2);
            dispatchEvent(new Event(XML_LOADED));
            return;
        }

and the XML

  <section id="SocialSection" active="true" visible="true" default="false">
   <name><![CDATA[<font size="50">SOCIAL</font>]]></name>
   <title><![CDATA[<font size="25">SOCIAL</font>]]></title>
   <forums>
    <line1><![CDATA[<font size="10">POST ON THE</font>]]></line1>
    <line2><![CDATA[<font size="18">FORUMS</font>]]></line2>
    <rollover><![CDATA[<font size="10">Have questions? Click here.</font>]]></rollover>
    <url>link_to_forum</url>
   </forums>
  </section>

I think the issue is _loc_4 but not sure how to fix this. Thanks!

click file/publish settings/flash and tick "permit debugging".  retest.  the problematic line number will be in the error message.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did as you suggested and the error is here for ML

                        _loc_3[_loc_4] = _loc_6;

and here for DM

            this.model.parseData(_loc_2);

And it's more cryptic than before : ). I think the DM error is predictable because of the first one

The complete error list is

ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on Number.
at mod::ML/parseData()
at mng::DM/onXMLLoaded()

at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

again, I think everything starts with ML script error

Thanks!

why are you executing:

var _loc_3:* = new XMLList("");

[cf2004cf]

ashamed to say, I'm learning, these scripts are copy paste from various

tutorials.blogs and friends, and I don't get everything, how it interacts

together

as a side note, I replaced loc4 from 0 to 1 and I get this error

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property fileURL not found on Number and there is

no default value.

Thanks!

[kglad]

delete that line.      _loc_3 must already be defined somewhere or else this line:

this.socialSection = new SocialSection(XML(_loc_3));

would cause an error.

[cf2004cf]

that's an ingenious catch :). anyways, now I get

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property fileURL not found on Number and there is

no default value.

for this code

            this.titleTreatment = loc3.fileURL.toString();

and this one

            this.globalElements = new GlobalElements(XML(_loc_3));

this starts to be more complex than I can chew, so I should learn some more AS3

and grow up and try again.

Thanks!

you're welcome.
