Hello!  
I can not figure out why my code here is not working… (i guess that’s pretty obvious or I would not be posting it!).

Would you mind taking a look at this and possible you can spot what it is that I have wrong?

I am getting the error:

TypeError: Error #2007: Perameter url must be non-null.  
at flash.display::Loader/\_load()  
at flash.display::Loader/load()  
at asFiles.reality::RealityScenarios/loadImage()[C: (networkpath).as:226]

here is where line 226 is:

```auto

public function loadImage(e:MouseEvent):void {
     imageHolder = new MovieClip;
     imageLoader = new Loader;
     imageLoader.load(new URLRequest (subImageArray[Number.e.target.name)])); //THIS IS LINE 226
     imageHolder.addChild(imageLoader);
     imageHolder.x = 75;
     imageHolder.y = 75;
     addChild(imageHolder);
}

```

e.target.name then refers to this:

```auto

public function addButtonEffects():void {
bp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,previousSubject);
b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadImage); //I CLICKED THIS BUTTON IN PARTICULAR BUT THE SAME ERROR OCCURS FOR b2, b3, AND b4
b2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadImage);
b3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadImage);
b4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadImage);
bn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,nextSubject);
}

```

that then refers to this code:

```auto

public function drawButtons():void { 
     var ba:Array = new Array();
     ba.push(bp,b1,b2,b3,b4,bn)
     for(var i:uint=0;i<ba.length;i++) {
          addChild(ba*);
          ba*.x = 390 + i* 100;
          ba*.y = 900;
     }
     for(var j:uint=0;j<1;j++) {
          trace(ba[j]);
          btnBack = new BtnBack();
          ba[j].addChild(btnBack)
          ba[j].buttonMode=true;
          
     }
     
     for(var k:uint=1; k<5; k++) {
          trace(name + ba[k]);
          ba[k].name = k; //HERE IS NAME
                    
          textfield = new TextField();
          textfield.text = realityArray.shift();
          textfield.setTextFormat(realityformat);
          textfield.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
          textfield.selectable = false;
          textfield.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
          textfield.embedFonts = true;
          textfield.scaleX = .2;
          textfield.scaleY = .2;
                    
          ba[k].x = 640;
          ba[k].y = 900;
          ba[k].addChild(textfield);
          ba[k].buttonMode=true;
          addChild(ba[k]);
                                        
          TweenLite.to(ba[k], 1, {x:380 + k * 100, y:880, scaleX:4, scaleY:4});
     }
               
     for(var l:uint=5;l<6;l++) {
          trace(ba[l]);
          btnNext = new BtnNext();
          ba[l].addChild(btnNext);
                         }
     
     addButtonEffects();
}

```

I hope that is not too confusing and makes sense!  
I appreciate the help!
