Hmmm... what's the rest of the Slide constructor? It sounds like maybe
that's where the error is...
Also, if you try running your Flash file in debug mode (Hit
Ctrl-Shift-Enter), the debugger will take control at the moment when you're
trying to access a null object, which usually helps you figure out what's
causing these kinds of problems.
