Obviously I’m working a bit with captivate files lately, my last three posts have been about the joys of using them.
My latest problem is that when I request a Loader object to unload a captivate generated swf, I immediately get a series of never-ending errors, that repeats the same thing:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at captivate.veela_as3::rdSwfLoader/IsParentSlidelet() at captivate.veela_as3::rdItem/getParentCurrFrame() at captivate.veela_as3::rdSwfLoader/getParentCurrFrame() at captivate.veela_as3::rdSwfLoader/rdSwfLoaderEnterFrame()
If I was permitted to use FlashPlayer 10 in this project I would probably try unloadAndStop() or if that didn’t work, uncaughtErrorEvents, but unfortunately this project requires Flash player 9. Nothing worked in attempting to prevent this error.
In the end I just commented out the line:
loader.unload();
and instead just removeChild(loader) and set loader to null. For some reason the Captivate swf spits the dummy if it doesn’t have a parent.
What a baby.
