@markledford If I'm working on the Flash IDE and i wanted to include this code on the first frame of the swf that's going to be loaded, how will the code look like?

Thank you so much. I would have never thought to look for this, but it makes complete sense. The generic error would have had me searching for hours/day if I hadn’t read this. Thanks!

I would like to know the answer to Rajneesh’s question as well. Having a Flash site that swaps out swfs (pages). In my case the object is a scrollbox movie clip in one of the swf pages causing that error. [?]

Hi,

I am designing a simple app of loading swfs.
Idea is there is file name home.swf having 6 buttons. Each button will load a releated swf and the home.swf will be gone completely from the stage. Now in loaded swf there is button for home.swf to come back to home. this was working fine. But when i added document class which loads xml data into list component, the button on home.swf for this swf, shows error as,

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at loadXMLDoc$iinit()

loadXMLDoc.as is in same folder.

please help me.
