ActionScript Warning 1090: Migration issue: The onRelease event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( ‘click’, callback_handler).

AS3 Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onRelease event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0.  You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( ‘click’, callback_handler).

AS3 Warning 1090 Description:

So the other day I opened some AS2 files that I use for teaching Flash Arrays at UVU.  I changed a few things in the file and tested my movie.  That is when Warning 1090 popped up and I realized that I had missed a few things.  AS3 Warning1090 is the most comprehensive and complete error message that I have ever encountered in Flash or Flex.  Not only does it give a really clear description but it tells you how to solve the issue.  Kudos Flash programmers/writers.  Jen DeHaan  if this is you – Nice Job!

P.S.  This will also happen with onEnterFrame, onPress, onMouseMove, etc…  I have only included one example here but it applies to all cases.

Flex / Flash Error #1090 Fix:

Do exactly what the message says use an event listener instead of the onRelease event that was common in AS2.

Bad Code:

joinArray_btn.onRelease = function () {
//Do Something
}

Good Code:

joinArray_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, joinArray);

function joinArray() {
//Do Something
}

This should help you resolve Flex / Flash Warning #1090

Thanks and as always Happy Flashing

Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported. This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..

AS3 Warning 1058 Description:

So the other day I opened some AS2 files that I had used for teaching Flash Arrays at UVU.  I changed a few things in the file and tested my movie.  That is when Warning 1058 popped up and I realized that I had missed a few things.  AS3 Warning1058 is one of the most comprehensive and complete error message that I have ever encountered in Flash or Flex.  Not only does it give a really clear description but it tells you how to solve the issue.  Kudos Flash programmers/writers.  Jen DeHaan  if this is you – Nice Job!

P.S.  This AS3 Warning will appear with all properties that use the leading underscore such as _x, _y, _width, _rotation, _alpha, etc…  I have only included one example here but it applies to all cases.

Flex / Flash Error #1058 Fix:

Do exactly what the message says remove the underscore or int he case of the _root property target it reltively with the “this” keyword or replace _root with Stage.

Bad Code:

_root.tenantsList = myTenantsArray.join(delimiter_txt.text);

Good Code:

Stage.tenantsList = myTenantsArray.join(delimiter_txt.text);

or

root.tenantsList = myTenantsArray.join(delimiter_txt.text);

or

this.tenantsList = myTenantsArray.join(delimiter_txt.text);

ActionScript Warning #1100

Posted on by

Warning: 1100: Assignment within conditional.  Did you mean == instead of =?

Description:
AS3 warning 1100 is Adobe watching out for you and helping you out.  Flash/Flex let’s you know that you are assigning a variable while at the same time evaluating to see if it is true.  This AS3 warning is quite easy to understand and well written.

Fix:
To solve Flex/Flash Warning 1100 all you need to do is add another ” = ” sign inside your conditional making 2 == rather than just one.

Bad Code 1:

if (topFive[i]=“one”) {

Good Code 1:

if (topFive[i]==”one”) {

Note: This is not ActionScript Error #1100.  Click this link to find AS3 Error #1100.

Flex 2/ Flash CS3 Error #3590

Posted on by

Flex 2/ Flash CS3 Warning / Error #3590: String used where a Boolean value was expected. The expression will be type coerced to Boolean.

or

Warning: 3590: int used where a Boolean value was expected. The expression will be type coerced to Boolean.

Description:
This is a ActionScript error is more of a warning than a true AS3 error. It will be displayed in strict mode and simply means that you have quotes around your Boolean value. Even though you may get this AS3 error it won’t prevent Flex or Flash from compiling nor ActinoScript code. It will convert it for you though. Thanks Flash for doing that for us.

AS3 Warning #3590 Fix 1:
Make sure that your boolean (true or false is not inside quotes).

Bad Code 1:

myObject.visible = “false”;

Good Code 1:

myObject.visible = false;

AS3 Warning #3590 Fix 2:
ActionScript 3 uses true and False rather than 0 and 1 for boolean. Although it does allow 0 to make it through without giving this error.

Bad Code 2:

myObject.visible = 1;

Good Code 2:

myObject.visible = true;

AS3 Warning 3590: Fix #3 – *Warning* This method will solve the problem temporarily and allow you to publish your code BUT it will cause you many headaches later. You will not get any warnings or error messages and this is a bad thing I Promise! If you are going to proceed down this path make sure to recheck these boxes after you are done publishing your one problem movie. With that much said, The way you do this is to turn off Strict (Verbose) Error Messages in your preferences as shown below.

Go to File >> Publish Settings >> Click on the “Flash” tab >> Next to “ActionScript version:” click the “Settings…”

AS3 Error 1118 -Implicit Coercion

AS3 Warning 3590 Fix #4 – In the example below you will see that the function “Return Type” is listed as Boolean when it needs to be listed as String.  To fix this simply change the Return Type to String or return a Boolean value “true” or “false”.

Bad Code:

function bob():Boolean
{
return “message”;
}

Good Code:

function bob():String
{
return “message”;
}

AS3 Warning 3590 is pretty easy and straight forward.

As always – Happy Flashing
