Hi,

I have an Actionscript coded flash file which run perfectly without any error.

I am not getting why it shows an error after i do insert a scene before or a frame before the current frames;

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.  
at myFile\_fla::MainTimeline/frame2()  
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()  
at flash.display::Sprite()  
at flash.display::MovieClip()  
at myFile\_fla::images\_mc\_1()

I am moving all frames along with actionscript to next frame as i want add preloader to it.

can anyone specify the reason?

Thank you.
