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

[blu3]

Situation is this: i have a main .mxml file from which i imported custom component which is basically Accordion with two elements and inside them is TextArea control for each one. I have a function in main .mxml which displays that component as a popUp (using popUp manager class) and populates those two TextArea controls with some text. I can populate first one TextArea just fine but when i try to populate second one the same way i did the first one i get this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at SMC/popUp2()
    at SMC/writeToOutput()
    at SMC/___SMC_Button1_click()

I don't really understand this error and i am not sure what i've done wrong, can someone please help me?

thank you

Here is code from my OutputPopUp.mxml component:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="950" height="650" backgroundColor="#444242" showCloseButton="true" creationComplete="popUpCenter();" title="Output" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle">
	
	<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[

    import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

    public function popUpCenter():void {
    PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this);
    }

    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
	
	
	 <mx:Accordion id="accordion" width="100%" height="100%">
            
            <mx:VBox label=".smil output" id="SmilVBOX" width="920" height="557">
                <mx:TextArea id="Text1" wordWrap="true" editable="false" width="920" height="557" backgroundColor="#4A4A4A" color="#FFFFFF"/>
            </mx:VBox>

            <mx:VBox label=".rt output" id="rtVBOX" width="920" height="559">
            	<mx:TextArea id="Text2" width="920" height="558" backgroundColor="#4A4A4A" text="Test text" color="#FFFFFF" wordWrap="true" editable="false"/>
            </mx:VBox>
            
     </mx:Accordion>
	
	
</mx:TitleWindow>

And from my main .mxml file i display that component using popUpManager class and try to load string to both TextAreas:

var outputPopUp:OutputPopUp = OutputPopUp (PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, OutputPopUp, true));
        	
outputPopUp.SmilVBOX.label = odabraniFile2;
outputPopUp.rtVBOX.label = RTfullPath;

outputPopUp.Text1.text = "Text1";	
outputPopUp.Text2.text = "Text2";     //this is where i get this error

but it only works for first one and for second one TextArea displays above error so i am not sure what's going on here?

Did you ever resolve the accordion/textarea issue? I have the same problem. Please let me know if you found a solution.

Thanks!!
