Error #1009 with FlxG.sound

[ArrowTheRodgers]

Hey all, been having an issue I haven't been able to solve.

I'm trying to get music to play when my game starts up. In the setupGame method of my Main.hx, I have: FlxG.sound.playMusic(AssetPaths.my_song__mp3, 1, true);

When I build to a flash target, it builds successfully, but then my flash player throws the error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

My music file is in the assets/music folder, and I've checked that it is correctly named and everything. Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Cheers,

- Arrow

Hey,

You can try using manual path like so:

FlxG.sound.playMusic("assets/music/mySong.mp3, 1, true);

Have You tried building to other platforms/using other sound formats?

Hey, using the manual path, building to windows as well as flash, and using wav and mp3 files. Still having the same problem :(

This is the full error file:

What does the <assets> node in your xml look like?

[ArrowTheRodgers]

<!--------------------------------PATHS SETTINGS-------------------------------->

<set name="BUILD_DIR" value="export" />

<classpath name="source" />

<assets path="assets/data" include="*.oel|*.oep" />

You don't seem to be embedding music anywhere? No wonder you're getting a null reference error.

[ArrowTheRodgers]

Ah, yeah I haven't done anything to embed music. What do I need to do?
