Hello, I need help cause I’m not sure how to fix this error.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I’m not sure where the error is so I’ll paste my code. The first code I have on frame 1 and the second I have on frame 2.
On frame one:

myEmptyContainer.removeChild(imageLoader3);
imageLoader3 = null;
stage.removeChild(myEmptyContainer);
myEmptyContainer = null;

Sry if its too long. Thanks to anyone who can help out.
EDIT: for further info, yes, I have all files into one folder. As for why I set my action script like this… I guess the assignment I have was to practice using external files.
