I get the error:

Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

when I uncomment   
[//targetArray.push](https://targetArray.push)(target2);

```
stop();
var targetArray:Array;
var target2:Target= new Target("eggs", 5);//:Target = new Target("ribbon", 9);
//targetArray.push(target2);

```

target2.x=90;  
target2.y=90;  
addChild(target2);

Can’t I create an array of instances?
