I have an all flash webpage that features a newsletter button… It is supposed to load an external newsletter module, fairly simple in itself. While the module works great on its own, when I load it from the main swf, I get an error message:

**TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.**  
**at Main/init()**  
**at Main()**

FYI, Main refers to Main.as, which is my module’s document class. I have attached a link to upload a zipped file of a much simplified version of what I have right now. You guys can see what happens… I understand the error message, but I am not sure of how to tweak my code… So if you could help, it’d be much appreciated !!! :pleased:
