Hello! I'll ask once again about error 1009. When I go to the main game, my character walked, the questionnaire appears, and then the "Correct!" window appears, so all of it exists in frame 75. So in the "Correct!" window has "Go" button, when I clicked it I've got received error 1009. It supposed to be when I clicked "Go" button, it supposed to be proceed in frame 76. So here's the message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I double-checked all of my codes, objects (movieclips, textfields and buttons), and instance names that are in the frame 76 and all of them are matched even quizQuest2 is already exists in frame 76 but still, I got the error 1009 and I can't figure out why did happen. I really don't know how I'm going fix it.
So I'll provide some screenshots of my GUI here as follows:
I did provided those screenshots for you to see what's on the frame 76. All of these are existing in the said frame number.
Anyways, what should I do or the best solution on how I fix this problem? I need your help. Thank you.

Uhm.. May I clear something that "quizQuest2" is actually an instance name and I did replace it with another instance name (e.g. Q2) and replace it on what I've written in the code, but not an object name. Sorry for my misinterpretation btw. 
Anyways, I did tracing for all of the objects that are present in frame 76, I used those traces with for loop and I put it on the said frame number:
trace(currentFrame);
trace(quizQuest2);
trace(getChildByName("quizQuest2"));
for (var i:int = numChildren - 1; i >= 0; i--){
trace(i, getChildAt(i));
}
And the output (refers above and in-order):
76
null (refers to trace(quizQuest2);)
[object QuizQuest2]
16 [object QuizQuest2]
15 [object PlayerGril]
14 [object CorekWincopy]
13 [object MaliWincopy]
12 [object PauseWincopy]
11 [object TextField]
10 [object TextField]
9 [object TextField]
8 [object Lives]
7 [object Hinteu]
6 [object Scorer]
5 [object SimpleButton]
4 [object SimpleButton]
3 [object SimpleButton]
2 [object Key]
1 [object Door]
0 [object Room2]
So the output for trace(quizQuest2) is null but for trace(getChildByName("quizQuest2"));, the output is [object QuizQuest2]. I don't get it but they seem the same trace. But rest of the objects seem ok.
