Yes

Hi.

It's because the Advanced Layers mode is on.

- If you want to keep it on, you're gonna have to reference the layer that contains the button by its name first. Like this:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var headerLayer:MovieClip = getChildByName("Header") as MovieClip;
stop();
headerLayer.btn_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_10);
// Alternatively: Header.btn_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_10);
function fl_ClickToGoToScene_10(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 1");
}

- If you don't want to use the Advanced Layers mode and reference objects in the old way, do this:

Go to the Document Settings (Ctrl/Cmd + J) and uncheck Use Advanced Layers.

Create timeline layers with Animate CC

Hi, I used this code and came out this

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

May I know how can I fix it?

Hi.

In recent versions of Animate it's possible to access instances directly without worrying about advanced layers. Or are you trying to do something else?

Please let us know.
