Further, look for a timing issue. Your components, like "rdata_by" might not be instantiated when you attempt to set its properties. One good solution to this problem is to bind to the data, instead of directly assigning the value in AS.
Often/usually/always?, a components properties are set before its children are rendered.

Debug to find out which reference is null. Also, probably not related to your problem, do not use "new" with XML() . XML is not really a constructor but a top-level function. So just do: var rXML:XML = XML(event.target.data); or var rXML:XML = event.target.data as XML; The second is a cast, and there are subtle differences in behavior when the object is null.

I make some text change through AS3 on my app. When i test on IE, i see no change at all. When i test on FireFox, i see the changes. But if i reload the page i get this error on the browser: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at thethaichef/rLoaded()[K:\PROJECTS\Personal\thethaichef\src\thethaichef.m xml:75] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete() seems it finds an error on the rLoaded function (that starts when an XML is loaded), when i asign some text to the MXML: private function rLoaded(event:Event) : void{ var rXML:XML = new XML(); rXML = XML(event.target.data); currentState="recipe"; rdata_title.title=rXML.info.thainame; rdata_by.text='by '+rXML.info.author.name; } does anyone knows what i'm doing wrong? thnx a lot!
