Error 1013: The private attribute may be used only on class property definitions

May 7, 2012 5:59 PM

Tags: #on #class #only #private #be #may #property #the #attribute #used #definitions

Been trying to solve this problem for the past 4 hours, been searching all over different forums and I still don't get it, I'm a complete newbie with AS3 and just starting to learn it. Can someone tell me what I have done wrong to get this error.

    You seem to have some code misplaced.  Just after your Main function you have a line of code...

     

    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFr);

     

    You probably want to move that inside one fo the functions.

     

    As far as the line you say is the problem, you appear to have that function nested within the placeSnake function.  Do not nest functions like that.

    Thank you for replying, I moved addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFr); inside one of the fuctions. I'm still having the Error 1013, I don't understand the nesting problem, (Still newbie) can you explaing what I have to do.

    Nesting a function is when you place one function within another function as you show in your posting.  What _spoboyle has offered is the unnested version of it.

    Feel like hitting my head of a wall.

    It solved the 1013 Error though.

    Errors are like that... some errors take precedence such that othersa are not reported at first.  It looks like you have numerous errors that you need to fix.  You will need to tackle them one at a time, so consider it an opportunity to learn.
