Make this class more portable?

programming flash
1

Hi,

I would like to load the movie that is linked to this class into another movie using:


var newsloader:Loader = new Loader();
newsloader.load(new URLRequest("main.swf"));

addChild(newsloader);

Can someone give any suggestions on how to modify this code of it to work? (since it’s parent is now newsloader)

The error I am getting is:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
