RE: [flexcoders] Why am I getting an "error accessing null property"

Try Alert.show(textVar, ‘Message’)   Make sure you have the control imported                   import mx.controls.Alert;   also make sure that the first argument in the show method (“show” in lowercase, btw) is actual a string type. You may need to use the .toString() method to get there From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of learner Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 10:31 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Why am I getting an "error accessing null property"   try tracing the model.currentUser.firstName, trace(model.currentUser.firstName) and then put this vaule in textfield like: textid.text  = model.currentUser.firstName and then Alert.Show(textid.text);   I had come acrros the same problem. where i could value into trace but while passing to some function , it was null I tried with this and it worked..It sound wired but its true...   Regards, PS   On 10/16/06, boy_trike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: [Bindable] public var model:ModelLocator = ModelLocator.getInstance(); private function processLoginResults( event : ResultEvent) : void { model.currentUser = new Users(); model.currentUser = event.result as Users; Alert.show(model.currentUser.firstName); } snippet of code above, I get the error in the Alert.show function.
