It might sound confusing so let me explain the situation. I made a movieClip. And in that movieClip I have a dynamic textfield set. I called this textfield "AmmoCount"
I dragged this movieClip onto the stage several times and each time I called on the AmmoCount varible in each movieclip and gave it a different value. I get the following error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Below is my code
trace(game.score.wH.weapon1.AmmoCount.text);
trace(game.score.wH.weapon2.AmmoCount.text);
When I trace these objects, weapon1.AmmoCount works, but weapon2.AmmoCount shows as empty. Yet they both contain a value in them.
Ive used the weapon1 property and weapon2 property countless times and there is no doubt that it works. so why doesnt it work for weapon2. but for weapon1. Below is some code that I called on earlier that shows they work
game.score.wH.weapon1.alpha = 1;
game.score.wH.weapon2.alpha = .2;
these worked! but when I called on the AmmoCount text box within them, I get the error. The following image you can find within the weapon1 movieClip
