I am trying to create a flash movie which has three buttons which when clicked on opens up a different video.

This is my code so far:

function VideoOne (event: MouseEvent):void{
pubPlayer.source="symptoms-2.flv";
}
function VideoTwo (event: MouseEvent):void{
pubPlayer.source="management-2.flv";
}
function VideoThree (event: MouseEvent):void{
pubPlayer.source="causes-2.flv";
}
onev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, VideoOne);
twov.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, VideoTwo);
threev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, VideoThree);

My problem is is that when a button is clicked on no video is played and the output is the following:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flash_fla::MainTimeline/VideoOne()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flash_fla::MainTimeline/VideoTwo()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flash_fla::MainTimeline/VideoThree()

Can anyone help me on this please.

Reason for edit:: Please use code tags

This is the standard null object reference error message that all object oriented languages contain. You need to create an instance of these objects using the 'new' keyword.

Here is a link to the actionscript.org forums that contains some posts that you might find helpful.

I still don't quite understand

With 60 posts, you should know the rules. Please use code tags when posting your code: . Also, please post your programming questions in the appropriate forums. I'll move this to Flash and ActionScript.

What is pubPlayer in your code. Have you defined it anywhere?
