Action Script Repository – an error repository for Flash, Flex and AS3

If you’ve come across an error in the Flash Player, Flash IDE, Flex Builder, Flex SDK or AIR you know it can take time to find out what it means or better yet, how to fix it. Action Script Errors is the site to use if you want to find or post information about errors. Over 500 errors have been entered and information has been gathered from the official Adobe documentation. There is also a redirect to this site (http://aserrors.com).

Although in beta you can still find answers. Enter the error code or error message in the search box and click search. It is preferred 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.

Please note that not all error messages have been documented. If you would like to be an author or editor please contact me at http://www.drumbeatinsight.com/contact or my email if you have it.

Although I have a template for editing error messages just getting something in the comments will help the next person out. I’ll also try to answer any comments if I know the answer as I get an email when a comment comes through.

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 list actual code examples that produce these errors,

Runtime Errors
Compiler Errors
Compiler Warnings
AIR Developer Tools Errors

Again, this site is in beta and if you have any suggestions I’ll do my best to upgrade it. Enjoy! :)
BTW I will add a generic user account here soon so you can go in and make changes without requiring you to create an account.
