    <p>I've created a button in my stage. I've set the instance name to <code>init</code> and have the <code>MainTimeline</code> being called from an an external script:</p> <p>./Project/MyFlash.fla</p> <p>./Project/MyFlash_fla/MainTimeline.as</p> <p>I'm a beginner in Flash attempting to create a button and call it inside <code>MainTimeline.as</code>; the error returned: <code>ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable init is not defined. at tfm::MainTimeline() </code></p> <p>I've also tried <code>var init:Button = new Button();</code> with no luck.</p> <p>More specifically, I am trying to do this:</p> <pre><code>function MainTimeline(){ //var init:Button = new Button(); init.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, begin); } function begin(){ addFrameScript(0, frame1); } </code></pre> <p>These are my imports (and I've added even useless ones in frustration):</p> <pre><code>import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; import flash.system.*; import flash.utils.*; import flash.text.*; import flash.xml.*; import flash.media.*; import fl.controls.Button; import flash.*; import fl.*; import fl.controls.*; </code></pre> <p>Any possible solution?</p> <hr> <p>Update: I'm linking the external script under the stage property, <code>Class</code> as <code>MyFlash_fla.MainTimeline</code></p> <p>I've gotten the 'var not defined' error eliminated by simply adding <code>this.</code> preceding <code>init.add[...]</code>. My current error: <code>TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null</code> <code>at flash.events::EventDispatcher/addEventListener()</code> <code>at tfm::MainTimeline()</code>. Sorry for not being completely clear at first, but I have a button in my stage, and I'm trying to have it execute the function, <code>begin()</code> whenever clicked. Currently, that error is returned and <code>begin()</code> is executed without any interaction.</p> <hr> <p>Update II. I've eliminated the last error by adding <code>event:Event</code> in <code>begin(event:Event){...</code>. Everything seems to be running smoothly. I'm left with an error though; it's not affecting anything, but I would still like to rid of it: <code>ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable init is not defined.</code> <code>at tfm::MainTimeline/__setProp_init_Scene1_Layer1_0()</code> <code>at tfm::MainTimeline()</code> - What is this?</p>

    1. COcan you update with the current code please? The possibility of a reference error was the reason I suggested `getChildByName`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
