    <p>(Flash Professional, AS3)</p> <p>I'm working on a custom avatar system where you can select various festures and colors. For example, I have a "hair" movieclip that has 10 hairstyles. Each frame has a movieclip of a different hairstyle (HairStyle1, HairStyle2, etc.). I also have a colorPicker to change the color. </p> <p>Here's my code:</p> <pre><code>var hairColor:ColorTransform; hairColor = mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer.transform.colorTransform; hairColor.color = 0xCCCC00; mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer.transform.colorTransform = hairColor; </code></pre> <p>This correctly changes the initial color. I have a "nextHair" button to advance mc_myAvatar.hair to the next frame. When I click the button, I get an error message saying that I have a null object reference. I added a trace, and mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer is null on frame 2. Why??? I've clearly named HairStyle2 as "colorLayer" in frame 2.</p> <p>I think the problem is related to me using the same name for different classes/movieclips, but I don't know how to fix the problem...</p> <p>I added a square movieclip below my hairStyle movieclips, named the square "colorLevel", and deleted the name from my hairStyle clips. When I click the next button, the square correctly maintains the color from frame to frame. However, having a square doesn't do me much good. :(</p> <p>I tried converting the hairStyle layer to a mask. Doing this, however, results in yet another "null object" error - mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer is null after frame 1. I even tried "spanning" my colorLevel across all frames (no keyframes), thinking that this would give me just one movieclip to work with. No luck. Same error!</p> <p>What's going on, here? Why am I getting these null objects, when they are clearly defined in my movieclip?</p> <p>I'm also open to suggestions on a better way to do multiple frames and colors.</p>

    1. COI've had this problem myself. It may be because your frame has not completely loaded. Have you tried making the call a few seconds after?

    2. COYes! You're right. That's what's happening. I created a new button and function to force the colorTransform after I click the "nextHair" button. Now, how can I automate this? Is there an eventListener for a frame load/complete? (All of my clips are internal.) If you want to put this as an answer, I'll mark it as "accepted".

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.
