Thank you. Hello sir,
this code is running in Flex 3 but it is not running in flex 4, i have some changes of Module with simple two buttons with click Event but its running in Flex 3 not in Flex4, the error is coming “call to undefined or null object reference”.
Thank you.

Instead of login = new loginScreen(mainML.child); try login = loginScreen(mainML.child); Dustin,

The problem is that you are passing mainML.child to the the loginScreen constuctor as opposed to casting it to a loginScreen type.

Instead of
login = new loginScreen(mainML.child);
try
login = loginScreen(mainML.child);

Thanks for a good example.I am trying to use this module concept but i am not sure why I am getting Module value as null.Not sure how to use it exactly.

I try to do this but with my own module. It is a windowedApplication as opposed to an Application for my main with the module loader, and I am running on Adobe AIR. private var login:loginScreen; public function init():void { login = new loginScreen(mainML.child); . . and then here is my loginScreen (i realize that by naming convention it's wrong I don't care though, just trying to learn and hack something together for now). Once again, I realize that I am using a "login" with incorrect naming convention as well as doing a log in as a module when I should just do a popup box, but I am experimenting more than anything. for some reason this tells me that the loginScreen only allows 0 arguments in the constructor call. Another thing that I am wanting to do is resize the main application window to match that of my login screen when the module loads but I haven't been able to get the correct size thus far. any tips?

I would guess that you memory suck problems are related to papervisions poor garbage collection and not tho module loading in flex. I saw this problem twice with papervision once it was related to how and when the rendering of 3d shapes was handled. The other time was a "ghost" type memory suck related to 3dMesh and collada files unfortunately I can't remember the specific fix for this one. I have had problems with memory suck and papervision.

And it runs: I can confirm that the module loads with debug output. But as soon as I add a line in the app that calls a method on the module, I get this type of error. I'm worried that the cited example assumes you already know to use a certain compiler option, or have some other file somewhere providing the information that tells the app.mxml how to access methods on the module.

In both the Flex 4 and Flex3 SDK's (command line), the module compiles fine, but the application does not. I get the error: "Access of undefined property: SimpleModule" because of this line: <code>sm = assetModule.factory.create() as SimpleModule;</code> If I remove that line, the app compiles, and I can run and see that the module loads. I've tried moving the module source around into different folders, keeping it at the root of the app, and nothing seems to work. Do I need to use a config file somewhere that tells the app how to use the module? do I need to include/import SimpleModule.mxml in SimpleMXMLApp.mxml? That would seem to contradict the purpose of modules. Maybe I'm missing a compiler option? Thanks for any help. Hi all, please help if you can:
