[flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at mx.controls::Tree/::buildUpCollectionEvents()
Hi All!
When I add a new item to the tree node and then open this item by user input
null pointer exceptions is thrown and after that Tree behavior becomes
strange.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run application.
2. Select My Branch node.
3. Click Add button. As a result My Leaf subnode is created as a child of My
Branch.
4. Click My Leaf disclosure icon to expland this item.
5. Exception mentioned above is thrown.
I compile this example in Flex 2.01 and run in Flash Player 9.0.47.0.
We have found workaround. The bug can be fixed by setting Tree
openDuration style to 0. But I dislike workarounds. Are there any real
solutions to fix this bug?
Sergey.

[flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference?
Hi
I'my working whit flex and amfphp.
In my exercise, the flex debug say this error:

atClass.atcls =

Re: [flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference?
Hi,
From the look if it
;ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem
seems to be where the null pointer is. Make sure you actually have a
selectedItem in the list.
I have actually done this myself when testing and actually forgot to
'select' an item before a service call.

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
RE: [flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
That's because when you simply declare
var test:testClass;
the variable 'test' is automatically assigned a default value of null.
The default value of a var depends on its type, as follows:
Boolean -- false
int/uint -- 0
Number -- NaN
Object -- undefined
All other types -- null

Re: [flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
you forgot to instantiate the object.
Change:
var test:testClass;
to
var test:testClass = new testClass();
and it should work.

[flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
I often get this error and I usually know why. Does anyone know how
to check for a null reference?
i.e.
if (dataprovider[i].someValue is null){
dothis();
}
Where dataprovider[i] does not have a someValue property. I bet this
is pretty simple and I just don't know the syntax. Thanks in advance!
RE: [flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
I bet that is correct. I have found that it is best to use callLater
for any control manipulation if I have just modified the dataProvider.
But, Roger, don't guess. Debug the code to find out which line is
producing the error. If you don't have good debugging techniques,
develop them now.

most likely the setting of the selectedIndex is what is causing that
error. Its trying to set a property to a component that doesnt exist
yet.

Re: [flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
Is catalog misspelled?
categories = event.result.catelog.category;
If there's no catelog child of the XML root, then trying to access a
child of that node will probably throw the error.
