addEventListiner to a different MC

Hello,

http://curtismorley.com/2007/08/15/flash-cs3-flex-error-1009-cannot-access-a-property-or-method-of-a-null-object-reference/

This website helped me solve my problem. The problem was that the code from the class was loaded before my button was, causing an error that the reference to the button was not valid or null. To solve this I used the following method:

addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, init);

public function init(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//listeners added here
}

okayPlay is a button that should activate a movieclip on the stage to play();. okayPlay is located on the stage. The code above is located in an extended class attached to a movieclip within the movieclip that I want to play when okayPlay is CLICKed. The movieclip with the class extended moves around via motion tween (I don't know if that is relevant). I have other functions (like a stoping function) that are set up the same way and do not work. I did a debuging and it told me the line with the addEventListener was at fault.

Thanks again,
-Jake

Hi,

I think it would be in your best interest, if you could provide your code ;)
