CodingForums.com - AS 3: Error 1009

In a little game I have to make for college I render a menu at runtime, using movieclips i made of buttons i drawed in illustrator. I imported the illustrator file in flash professional like I always do, and made a AS linkage like I do with my other movieclips that run fine. But when I try to render these buttons I get a error 1009, a null reference. I use AS3 by the way.

Code:

private function initMenuComponents():void{

        var btnPlay:MovieClip = new Play();

        var btnOptions:MovieClip = new Options();

        var btnLikeOnFacebook:MovieClip = new LikeOnFacebook();

        var btnShareOnFacebook:MovieClip = new ShareOnFacebook();



        btnPlay.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - (btnPlay.width / 2);

        btnOptions.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - (btnOptions.width / 2);

        btnLikeOnFacebook.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - (btnLikeOnFacebook.width / 2);

        btnShareOnFacebook.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - (btnShareOnFacebook.width / 2);



        btnPlay.y = 100;

        btnOptions.y = 150;

        btnLikeOnFacebook.y = 200;

        btnShareOnFacebook.y = 250;



        stage.addChild(btnPlay);

        stage.addChild(btnOptions);

        stage.addChild(btnLikeOnFacebook);

        stage.addChild(btnShareOnFacebook);
