It seems to be generating particles, but they are not able to get the location of my movie clip it seems as I'm receiving the following error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Any help on how I can get my particles to "land" on my movieclip would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for looking! ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=342&Focus=1168#Comment_1168 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=342&Focus=1168#Comment_1168 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:34:28 +0100 fate0000
