Im getting a ‘TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference’ when I try to gotoAndPlay(15) after I swap over two mcs in my .fla file. It can start playing frame 15 fine if there is no actionscript on it ie just an image but as soon as I add actionscript code it gives me the error. I have been trying for hours to try and solve it so if anyone coud help it would be much appreciated!

I have included the.fla file and stripped most of the graphics out so it’s under 146kb limit.
