Issue loading external swf on main file with as3 --HELP!

Hi I’m very new to flash cs6 and and as3 and i’ve been stuck on this ipad/android restaurant menu i’ve been doing. i’m trying to load an external swf on my main swf but have been getting this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at cuisine/init()[C:\Users\PAO\Desktop\OZ\SWIPE\cuisine.as:32] at cuisine()[C:\Users\PAO\Desktop\OZ\SWIPE\cuisine.as:22]

i got the code of the swipes from a tutorial i found online. in the different sections fo the menu i was planning to load different swfs because i couldn’t get a single code to work for all the sections at the same time.

like i said, im new to as3 and i really don’t understand all the coding so i’m really stuck at a dead end.

hoping a kind soul could help me get out of this rut. the files can be found here:
