Flash Action Script Error Repository

You cannot declare a variable or function with the same identifier name more than once within the same scope. In ActionScript 3.0, different code blocks (such as those used in two for loops in the same function definition) are considered to be in the same scope. This error indicates that the ActionScript in the SWF is invalid. If you believe that the file has not been corrupted, please report the problem to Adobe.

Problem:

Something is receiving the wrong data type and it cannot be converted. For example, a function is expecting a string and we pass it an Array.

This also occurred in when I was passing an Array to a function that expected another data type.
The error detail is "cannot convert []@e1f73f9 mx.core.IUIComponent."

NOTICE - The value I am passing to the "target" property is an Array because the value is enclosed in brackets "[myvalue]". This would work if the property was "targets". The property "target" expects an object.

In this next example, an XMLList cannot be converted into an Array, which is what this component needs.

The error details is "cannot convert XMLList@37ace21 to Class."

[pre]
public function tabBarHandler(event:ItemClickEvent):void {

var menuitems:XML = event.item.menuitems as XML;

// this converts an xml list into a array collection but the tab bar cannot accept an xmllist data type
// you *CAN* use this method if your data provider can accept an ArrayCollection
//var menuDP:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(new XMLListCollection(event.item.menuitems.submenu as XMLList).toArray());

// in our case since we *CANNOT* we manually convert it to an array and then add it to the tabbar
for each (var menuitem:XML in menuitems.submenu) {

// create a new object and assign the properties to it from the xml node
var newItem:Object = new Object();
newItem.label = menuitem.@label;
newItem.link = menuitem.@link;
// optionally create a reference to the original xmlnode
newItem.menuitem = menuitem;
// add item to the array collection
menuDP.addItem(newItem);

trace(menuitem.@label);

}

// add new menuDP array collection to our tab bar
subMenuBar.dataProvider = menuDP;
}
