Hi all! Great forums here, really have helped me out of a few jams -and more I am hoping.
I am trying to create a hidden, rollover menu, in a gallery type setting. Once triggered, the ‘thumbnail’ menu, animates up and exposes said thumbnails that I will have wired up using XML. I have a few external .As files going on as well but the error didn’t reference those files. They are too large to upload with this post.
I have hit a roadblock and fairly new to AS3. I’m pretty sure I’m doing something simple wrong, but I can’t for the life of me figure it out.
I’m thinking the problem is with my addThumbs(); function, since that’s what the output window is telling me. Before this new batch of errors, my Sprite was the source of several, strange errors. The plan was to create a ‘container’ to hold all of my thumbnails, then manipulate that containers alpha or presence vs several individual thumbnails. I’m getting lost!
My frame 1 fla code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import caurina.transitions.properties.DisplayShortcuts;
DisplayShortcuts.init();
nav_button.buttonMode=true;
nav_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,portRollOver);
nav_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,portRollOut);
function portRollOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
Tweener.addTween(nav_button.menuArea,{height:0,alpha:0,delay:2,time:0 .75,transition:‘linear’});
Tweener.addTween(nav_button.ball,{y:0,delay:2,time:0.75,transition:‘l inear’});
Tweener.addTween(nav_button.menuMask, {height:15, delay:2, time:0.75, transition:‘linear’});
}
function portRollOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
/if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER) {
}
else {}/
Tweener.addTween(nav_button.menuArea,{height:60,alpha:1,time:1,transi tion:‘linear’,onComplete:addThumbs});
Tweener.addTween(nav_button.menuMask, {height:nav_button.menuMask.height +=60, time:.25, transition:‘linear’});
Tweener.addTween(nav_button.ball, {y:60, time:1, transition:‘linear’});
}
function addThumbs():void {
var thumbHolder = new Sprite();
thumbHolder.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x00ff00);
thumbHolder.graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF);
thumbHolder.graphics.drawRect(5,595,860,50);
thumbHolder.graphics.endFill();
thumbHolder.alpha = 0;
addChild(thumbHolder);
var thumb:MasterThumb = new MasterThumb();// tied to a library item with 2 frames
thumb.x = 10;
thumb.y = 550;
thumb.alpha=0;
nav_button.menuArea.thumbHolder.addChild(thumb);
Tweener.addTween(nav_button.menuArea.thumbHolder.thumb, {alpha:1, time:0.5});
}
–A friend of mine who codes suggested adding a required parameter to the addThumbs and see if that fixed my problem. So, it changed to:function addThumbs(val = 1):void {…}. I then altered the tweener line referencing the function to addThumbs(1). That threw me a new set of errors:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at GrassRoots/addThumbs()[GrassRoots::frame1:36]
at GrassRoots/portRollOver()[GrassRoots::frame1:18]
I removed the “patch” code and left it as it originally appears.–
Output:## [Tweener] Error: [object ThumbMenuBG_4] raised an error while executing the 'onComplete’handler.
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Can anyone shed some light? I feel like there needs to be a course just in flash output errors!
