TypeError when creating new array

Question

The following line of code sometimes throws an exception:

var stopScheduleItems:Array = [];

The exception being thrown:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I cannot understand why this could happen when creating a new array. Could anyone provide some insight. Thanks

This line can't be throwing this error.

It's more likely that you are trying to access a method of the stopScheduleItems object before it's defined. For example something like this:

stopScheduleItems.pop();
var stopScheduleItems:Array = [];

Strange.. If you're debugging in Flash Builder make sure you haven't removed a line while debugging, because this often results in incorrect debugging lines shown (so when you see debugger standing at for example line 7, it is actually standing at 7 - deletedLineCount). I can't think of any other thing that could have caused this error.

You were right. Another line was actually throwing the error. Thanks
