Uncaught TypeError: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'baseTexture' of undefined

After adding a new state to my game I'm getting this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'baseTexture' of undefined phaser.js:5454PIXI.WebGLRenderGroup.initTilingSpritephaser.js:5454PIXI.WebGLRenderGroup.insertObjectphaser.js:5250PIXI.WebGLRenderGroup.addDisplayObjectAndChildrenphaser.js:5106PIXI.WebGLRenderGroup.setRenderablephaser.js:4659PIXI.WebGLRenderer.renderphaser.js:4398Phaser.Game.updatephaser.js:10334Phaser.RequestAnimationFrame.updateRAFphaser.js:16157_onLoop

It's happened before, but I don't remember how I solved it. I think it was something like changing when I load an asset or something. Has anyone come across this?

Share some code Impossible to debug otherwise.

I realized that it happens everytime I start on the BootState. Don't know why.

				game.state.add('BootScreen', SoccerGame.BootScreen);				game.state.add('PreloaderScreen', SoccerGame.PreloaderScreen);				game.state.add('MenuScreen', SoccerGame.MenuScreen);				game.state.add('GameScreen', SoccerGame.GameScreen);				game.state.start('BootScreen');

The BootScreen is pretty standart:

SoccerGame = {}SoccerGame.BootScreen = function (game) {    this.game = game;};SoccerGame.BootScreen.prototype = {    preload: function ()     {        //  Here we load the assets required for our preloader (in this case a background and a loading bar)        //this.load.image('preloaderBackground', 'images/preloader_background.jpg');        //this.load.image('preloaderBar', 'images/preloadr_bar.png'    },    create: function ()    {        this.game.state.start("PreloaderScreen");    }};

There's nothing wrong with the code above, so the error isn't coming from there. An error with a BaseTexture usually means you've used an image cache ID (like 'preloaderBar') that doesn't exist. Maybe with a typo in it, or maybe the file didn't load successfully.

As I was debugging he shows this error on the MenuScreen which is called from the PreloaderScreen. So could it be that the MenuScreen is trying to use something that hasn't been loaded?

 

The weird thing is that if I start from the PreloaderScreen everything works just fine. I only get this error when going through the BootScreen before the Preloader.

 

I managed to fix it but it was a weird solution... Only thing I did was add the load.image on BootScreen instead then load it on preloader screen. Makes no sense since this image is only used on the MenuScreen.

The weird thing happening now is that he's calling the 'create' on the MenuScreen twice. This is the console log:

 

[bOOTSCREEN] (): preload Util.js:31

Phaser 1.0.4 initialized. Rendering to WebGL phaser.js:10262

[bOOTSCREEN] (): create Util.js:31

Nevermind me @rich. I had the new version of Phaser but didn't update the copy on my project folder. All working as it should now. Can close this

Heh I was going to say, 1.0.4 is a bit old now
