Hi,
I guess I should let you know what two files I’m working with on this project.
I’m using this external preloader… http://activeden.net/item/external-asset-preloaderloader/38518
...to load this gallery. I’m also going to be loading in 3 different galleries. But for now, I’ve only tested one.
http://activeden.net/item/whole-browser-xml-slideshow-image-viewer/22014
Here’s my problem..
I have a main.swf that is going to load conceptGallery.swf, portraitsGallery.swf, and miscGallery.swf
So far I’ve only finished up conceptGallery.swf and it looks great when I’m looking at it by itself. But when I try and load it into my main.swf, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at conceptGallery_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I’ve looked around google but with not much luck 
Does anybody have any suggestions? This is my first time working in AS3 , so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you used stage at all for example:
stage.stageWidth
in your conceptGallery.swf?

I believe so.
I read that as an answer when I was browsing through Google. But since I didn’t build the gallery myself, I’m not quite sure what to do edit and what not 
But looking through the first few lines, I found this:
var empty_mc:Loader=new Loader();
stage.addChild(empty_mc);
var swfStage:Stage = empty_mc.stage;
swfStage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
swfStage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
Other than that, the only other thing involving “Stage” was for the full screen function.

There’s your problem.
Use ADDED _TO_STAGE and include all you stage statements in there.

thePhoenix,
So replace everything that is stage.something to ADDED _TO_STAGE, or replace what is swfStage?

addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, setupStage);
function setupStage (e:Event):void {
// all stage statements in here

Hi…
I am using AS3 .0 preloader for load external swf And i am getting error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at _fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:3]
When i put these code in my main swf
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP;
below is the loader swf code
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(new URLRequest("~certipath.swf"));
function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
var ratio:Number = event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal;
percent.text = Math.ceil(ratio*100).toString();
bar.scaleX = ratio;
}
function completeHandler(event:Event):void{
removeChild(percent);
removeChild(bar);
removeChild(loading);
removeChild(countD);
removeChild(bgg);
percent = null;
bar = null;
addChild(loader);
}
Could please help me, I have searched a lot… but no luck…
what i do to resolve this problem and I also tried your code [posted above].... but loader didn’t call the main swf…
Request processing...
