   Hi Mitch, I've got another question for you. I'm building a site where I'm using two instances of the Load_Content class. One instance is to load the individual pages of the site. The other instance is to load gallery content into the gallery page. The reason I'm using Load_Content instead of Content_Manager is because I'm loading a lot of video and trying to keep the file size down by not embedding all of the video's into the FLA library. I'm loading the video's as external SWF's where I have imported the video's automatically through File/Import/Import Video.

   When I load the gallery page into the site, I get error #1009: Cannot access a method or property of a null object reference. I'm sure you're familiar with this one...

   First question, can I even use two instances of the Load_Content class? The reason I ask is because when I get rid of the Load_Content instance on the gallery page the error disappears.

   If it is ok to use two instances of Load_Content, what do I need to instantiate in order to get the error to disappear?

   If it's a bad idea to use Load_Content twice, can you give me any suggestions on how to build a video gallery where I'm loading the video externally and having them stream from the server? This might be too much to explain but any direction you can provide is much appreciated. Thanks again for your help!

   Mitch,

   Thanks again for your help in the workshop today. I've been losing my mind over this issue and as always it was the simplest thing to fix. If anyone is interested here's how the problem was solved.

   You just have to add an ADDED_TO_STAGE event prior to the Load_Content class initializing (correct me if I'm wrong), but it's done like this:

   package {
   import flash.display.*;
   import flash.events.*;
   import com.webdevils.Load_Content;

   public class Main extends MovieClip {

   private var main_lc:Load_Content;

   public function Main() {

   addEventListener( Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, on_stage );

   }//end Main

   private function on_stage( e:Event ):void {

   stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
   stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

   var open_obj={x:stage.stageWidth * .5 - 384, y:stage.stageHeight * .5 - 216, z: 0, alpha:1, time:2, transition:"easeIn"};

   var exit_obj={x:stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth -8000, y:0, time: 2, transition: "easeInQuart"};

   var start_obj={x:stage.stageWidth * .5 - 384, y:stage.stageHeight * .5 - 216, alpha: 0};

   main_lc=new Load_Content(mycontent_mc,open_obj,exit_obj,start_obj);

   main_lc.add_content("image.png");

   }
