Summary
I kept getting this message randomly at the start of my game "TypeError: this._bitmap is null" I say randomly because, for example: it would come up I would delete an event and it would stop and then after 2 more play test it would come back up. Not really understanding what was going on I just minimised the parallel process's going on and after a while I got it to work consistently with no fault.

I say randomly because, for example: it would come up I would delete an event and it would stop and then after 2 more play test it would come back up.
Not really understanding what was going on I just minimised the parallel process's going on and after a while I got it to work consistently with no fault.
I have just deployed the game for my website through my FTP and the version I have local works with no fault, but the copy that is now being hosted online is displaying the error in the exact same way it was happening previously.
What does this error really mean? How can you pin point the problem generally? How can you pin point problems with hosted games?
Cheers
