Error in Timer

[TheMrKiko]

Hi,
I have a problem with the following code:

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(100);

myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, correr);
myTimer.start();
function correr(event:TimerEvent):void{
stope.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, parar);
}

function parar(Event:MouseEvent):void{
myTimer.stop()
rea1.text = (getTimer() + " ms");
}

It's suposed to start a timer that stops when I press the 'stope' button and display that time (after stoped) in the text box 'rea1'. But that doesn't happen and the following text keeps repeating many times when I enter the frame:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
	at MyGame_fla::MainTimeline/correr()
	at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
	at flash.utils::Timer/tick()

Could someone help me please?
Thanks

My guess would be that rea1 is either spelled incorrectly, or it isn't on the stage on the keyframe where the code is.

You can go to File->Publish Settings->Actionscript then check the 'Permit Debugging' check box (near the bottom) and then re-run the program and it will tell you which line is causing the error.

Hope that helps

I debug that and the line that is causing the error is

stope.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, parar);

But I cheked the button and exists with that name and the function is ok.
Help me!

I think I found the solution. The Button must be on the same layer of the text box. But thank you for the help.
