Bug in CS4 or I am doing something wrong

Question

I have Adobe Flash CS4, and I have made an fla that has two,
one frame long scenes in it:
Scene 1
Scene 2

there is a button on each, there instance names are:
button
button2

It says there are no errors in the code, but when I preview
or publish it, I get this error in the output window:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
 at
SceneNavigation_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp_button2_Scene2_Layer1_0()
 at SceneNavigation_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

What is weird is I went to this site:

http://flashthusiast.com/2008/07/31/creating-buttons-that-link-to-different-scenes-using-actionscript-30/
and downloaded the sample file that came with the tutorial,
and that came up with the same error.

If you want to see the .fla that I made, download it here:

you need to give each button the proper 'instance name' (not the buttons text or label) in the above code the scene one button's instance name is 'button' - in two it is 'button2'

select your button on the stage, look in the properties panel, on the left enter the 'instance name' of the buttons respectively.
