Flash CS3 / Flex Error Messages – Error #1063:

Posted on May 25, 2007 by Curtis J. Morley

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on com.cjm::DrawLines/::onEnterFrame(). Expected 0, got 1.

This is an easy one it means that you got an argument passed to your function yet you did not specify that one was coming. So you did this “function Bob ()” instead of “function Bob (myEvent:Event)” This error is common when dealing with Events.

I get this error as well, hopefully someone can help me. Here is the error.

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on Canvas/initialize(). Expected 0, got 1.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
at LoaderMain/init()

Here is “Canvas/initialize()”

public function initialize() {
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initialize);
initProjects();
initCanvas();
stage.quality=StageQuality.LOW;
}

———-

Here is LoaderMain/init()

public function init(e:Event):void {
addChild(loader.content);
tmGraphic=TweenMax.to(graphic,5,{alpha:0,delay:3,onComplete:removeGraphic});
}

———–

This isn’t my code, I am trying to mod a site for a client and having nothing but problems, as soon as I fix one error I get another. This is at least fix #30 so far.

Thanks.

Hej Curtis,

I have made a program i AS2 and just started to migrate it to AS3. Oh boy, there are a lot of changes. I am going to buy CS5 very soon.

Searching clues on Internet I have come across your site here. I already found a lot of help using the error code and your comprehensive notes.

I am much obliged, thank you very much.
Thanks,
Ole, Denmark

I’m converting a projector file from AS2 to AS3. SetInterval is giving me trouble. I’m trying to write a simple script that will iron out the functionality I need. I’m just not seeing the light here.

Thanks for the consideration .

Can you assist with this senario…
Im attempting to call the SWFLoad Function from the root… (SWFLoad is the function in the root that will preload each external SWF when its called.)
The Error Im getting is saying that the Argument expects 2 and is only getting 1. Thanks in advance!! Here is my code:

import flash.xml.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

//Misc Needed Variables
var count:int = 0;
var activeNews:int = 0;

// Adds a listener to the loader function telling to call the function once all data is loaded
newsLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, newsLoaded);

//XML List from data
var allNews:XMLList = news_data.*;

//Tells loader to take all the elements in the XML file and convert them to strings within the arrays.

Ryeanne,

It sounds like you have 1 to many arguments . Your Flex Function is getting 6 & it only wants 5.

If you need more help please put the errant code in your next comment.

Thanks,

Curtis J. Morley

Thank you so much for this.
I’m just learning AS3, and found a few other similar pages which did not answer the question. then I stumbled over here…
I appreciate the straightforward approach!
