Question

i am having problem in creating a video player in flash via as3, the problem is that whenever i try to compile the project, the compiler error shows:

1120: Access of undefined property _stop.
1120: Access of undefined property _pause.
1120: Access of undefined property _play.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Button.
1120: Access of undefined property _prev.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Button.
1120: Access of undefined property _next.

And this keeps on going as much i’ve mentioned these objects, so please help me solve this. and am newbie so a bit hard for me to find the error.

as3:

    }

    _soundTransform.volume = _volume;
    _netstr.soundTransform = _soundTransform;
}

Init();
SetupVideo();
SetupButtons();

And even i’ve converted this objects to button symbols.

Answer 1

Probably you forgot to assign instance name for the objects, which used as a _stop, _pause, _play buttons etc.

And also check the “Export for the ActionScript” flag in the properties in the library.
