I am missing something in my &quot;Select by Extents&quot; spatial query

SierkOudemans

Hi,

This is based on the "Attribute Inspector (View)" Sample. I have been at this for a while now, slowly constructing the application to selects a point feature rather than a polygon. But I am missing something. I got the "map_mapClickHandler" function to work. The "myFeatureLayer_selectionCompleteHandler" function returns the the selected feature's object ID but I get a "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." And I have no clue why. Thanks for your help.

Here is the code:
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   import com.esri.ags.Graphic;
   import com.esri.ags.SpatialReference;
   import com.esri.ags.events.FeatureLayerEvent;
   import com.esri.ags.events.MapMouseEvent;
   import com.esri.ags.geometry.Extent;
   import com.esri.ags.geometry.Geometry;
   import com.esri.ags.geometry.MapPoint;
   import com.esri.ags.geometry.Polygon;
   import com.esri.ags.symbols.SimpleFillSymbol;
   import mx.controls.Alert;
   import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
   import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;

   protected function map_mapClickHandler(event:MapMouseEvent):void
   {
    // convert click to an extents
    var vPt:MapPoint = event.mapPoint;
    var vX:Number = vPt.x;
    var vY:Number = vPt.y;
    var vExtent:Extent = new Extent(vX - 100, vY - 100,vX + 100, vY + 100)
    var thisSelectionQuery:Query = new Query();
    thisSelectionQuery.geometry = vExtent;
    myFeatureLayer.selectFeatures(thisSelectionQuery, FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW);
   }

   protected function attrInsp_faultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void
   {
    Alert.show(event.fault.message, "Fault");
   }

   protected function myFeatureLayer_selectionCompleteHandler(event:FeatureLayerEvent):void
   {
    // only show infoWindow if a feature was found
    if (event.featureLayer.numGraphics > 0)
    {
     myMap.infoWindow.label = "Sign " + event.featureLayer.selectedFeatures[0].attributes.OBJECTID;
     //I am not sure what I should do with this
     myMap.infoWindow.show(queryMapClick.geometry as MapPoint);
    }
    else
    {
     Alert.show("Sorry found nothing here...");
    }
   }

Sierk,

Well I did not expect the queryMapClick to be a Query at all... You should copy ALL the code and paste it into a text document and then attach it to this thread.

SierkOudemans

Thanks rscheitlin for your reply.

The variable is declared in the declaration section:

<fx:Declarations>
 <esri:Query id="queryMapClick"/>

</fx:Declarations>

and I get an error when I implement your suggestion:

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type com.esri.ags.geometry:MapPoint to an unrelated type com.esri.ags.tasks.supportClasses:Query

I tried finding an answer to this question but found none that explained it in such a way I could understand what is going on. I am kind of new at this. How would I resolve this?

Thanks

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Sierk,

Assumin that the queryMapClick is a private var somewhere in the code that you did not attach than all you have to do is the add the line in red below. If not then you need to add a private var for queryMapClick.

Sierk,

Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

just fill the difference:

output: "Hello world!"

try
{
    var myObject:Object = new Object(); // myObject is not null
    myObject.myParameter = "Hello world!";

    var message:String = myObject.myParameter;
    trace(message);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
    trace(error.message.toString());
}

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

try
{
    var myObject:Object = new Object(); // myObject is null

    var message:String = myObject.myParameter;
    trace(message);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
    trace(error.message.toString());
}
