Disable the error message box while loading an external movie with actionscript 3

Question

I have a compiled swf file and a I can't edit it, but the movie is working fine (but gives an error message with a message box).

I am using it from an other movie (load with as3 code). When the loader movie loads it the error message box appears.

I wonder is it possible to disable the errors while loading a movie with as3.

Here is the error in the message box:

"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at motionsound11_fla::_all_29/motionsound11_fla::frame249()"

Answer 1

Can you elaborate on what the error is? This might help figure out if there's a workaround for that specific error, or maybe that its not possible to supress (for example, the box warning of a blocked local or network access attempt).

If you google for 'swf decompiler' you'll find a myriad of options for generating some actionscript for your SWF, which might allow you to fix the problem directly, or at least diagnose it further.

Answer 2

Yes. Here is the error message (editted my first post):

"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at motionsound11_fla::_all_29/motionsound11_fla::frame249()"

And I don't want to decompile my movie. It becomes more complex when decompiled. Yes, for understanding the problem I did. But my first problem is disable the error message box.

Thanks so much.

I might be wrong here, but I'm not sure the release version of Flash player plugin would produce an error like that - are you running this in the debug plugin? What you could do is test on a box you know has never been used for development - it's possible the error simply won't appear when you deploy your application.

That said, any Flash developers who use your app might still see it!
