Error with two video NetStreams AS3

Question

I have 2 NetStream objects that I am trying to assign 2 videos to (one to each), and then, because I have 2 native windows, I use stage.addChild(video); and secondWindow.stage.addChild(video2);. I am using stream.play("scene1.f4v"); and stream2.play("scene1A.f4v"); to specify the files for the streams. I am now diagnosing an error, because the videos are not playing. Instead, I get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Function/detectText()[/Users/Jared/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/InTheAirNet_MultiviewPlayer/src/InTheAirNet_MultiviewPlayer.as:124]

Line 124 is secondWindow.stage.addChild(video2);. Is this error due to an issue with my file URLS? I have the video files in a folder named assets in the structure for my application.

I think that is enough, but I will include my code too- just in case:

Answer 1

I have figured out what is wrong. I have the application create a second native window if it detects the presence of a second monitor. However, in my code to create my NetConnection, stream, and video head, I don't use an IF statement at all. So while I am trying to run the application without the second monitor, there is no secondary native window to run the video head on- hence the error.

Now I am going to have to figure out why the video for the first native window isn't playing.
