I suspect that an Application dispatches a "resize" event when it is first created and sized, but before it is onstage, so 'stage' is null when it is first called.
You could just make resizeHandler() return if stage is null. Or you could delay listening for "resize" events until the application dispatches an applicationComplete event.
