LiquidArea Preview - null object error

[brantseibert 0 Likes (Newbie)]

When I switch off preview I get the ever popular : Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

 

THIS DOES NOT THROW AN ERROR:

 

var la3:LiquidArea = new LiquidArea(this, 500, 200, 400, 300, 0xFFFFFF);

la3.preview = true;

la3.attach(device1, ScaleMode.PROPORTIONAL_INSIDE);

ls.attach(la3, ls.TOP_LEFT);

 

THIS DOES THROW A 1009 ERROR:

 

var la3:LiquidArea = new LiquidArea(this, 500, 200, 400, 300, 0xFFFFFF);

//la3.preview = true;

la3.attach(device1, ScaleMode.PROPORTIONAL_INSIDE);

ls.attach(la3, ls.TOP_LEFT);

 

Thanks for your help.

Why are you attaching a LiquidArea to LiquidStage? Don't do that It's unnecessary - LiquidArea automatically attaches itself via PinPoints (by default its upper left corner attaches to the upper left corner of the stage and same with the lower right corner). You can use the LiquidArea's pinCorners() if you need to pin the corners differently.
