I have the following error and I don't know what line number to attribute it to:

[Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I've Googled it but there is not much information. In various forums people suggest "finding the trace stack". I'm using IntelliJ.

How much do you know about running Flash/Flex projects in IntelliJ?

Here's the "Actionscript & Flex" section of their help docs:

ActionScript and Flex - Help | IntelliJ IDEA

Once you've studied that, post a reply with details re what you don't understand and/or how you are stuck and one of us may be able to help you. IntelliJ has a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth it if you're going to be doing serious development work.

I don't know how you do it in IntelliJ, but there should be an option to permit debugging. If you can find that, turn it on. Then you'll get the line number where the problem is.
