[Flashcoders] passing an array as a method = TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Hi all, I'm creating a simple class that has an method that will receive an array as a parameter and store it inside the class in a property. This gives me the error below and I'm stuck. Also I would like to know why if I change the code inside the method setGabarito to just ( aRespGabarito =

From your loop, you're accessing an array element that doesn't exist. I would actually advise a different approach to the problem. Don't use pure arrays within pure arrays (called multidimensional arrays). I find it very hard to understand and maintain that code. It can get confusing easily and
