A library of solutions to Actionscript, Flash, Flex and AIR

If you are here it is because you need to find answers.

Although in beta you can still use this site. Enter the error code or error message in the search box and click search. It is prefered that you enter only the error number if you have it (for example, 2032). If you find a solution or your situation is unique please leave more information in the comments.

There are numerous types of error messages you may run into. The first is Compiler errors. These appear during design time (or for us coding time). Next is Runtime errors. These appear when the project has been compiled and is up and running. There are additional errors that occur in the browser, in your development environment and numerous related areas. Also included on this site is Compiler Warnings. These are suggestions that the compiler makes to avoid possible errors or unwanted behavior.

We have gathered information from the official documentation below and actual code examples that produce these errors,
