TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at StingerBullet/loop() The problem is in this line: private var target:Ship; For some reason this isn't picking up the target! I've traced the Ship and it is working and I've spent three days making sure that every bit of code is correct and just like yours, and for some reason the target just isn't working. If I could get past this it would be wonderful and I would appreciate your help, because I have LOVED your tutorial thus far.

The problem is in this line:

For some reason this isn’t picking up the target!

I have used your example, but the mines are generating in the middle of the stage. Otherwise it works just fine. Thanks. I am trying to get the enemies to generate at a stage width of 800.

It's really easy to follow. I guess I'll print it out and examine all the code later (at school, that is :D) Thanks a lot! This is the best tutorial on making games I have found so far.

I would like to try and implement this to my game it seems an amazing way to monitor all kinds of interactions between different classes. Such as, the way you create a variable of the ship and call it target in the Stinger class. I'm not sure why this doesn't work for me in a hitTestObject listener I am creating; other than not using this stageRef property. Actually, may I ask where and if you explain this stageRef property?
