VE error when I use a FormAttachment [message #606083] Fri, 25 March 2005 18:19

I get the following error message when I try to use a FormAttachment in
the Visual Editor:

Error trying to set new file into editor.

Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException

This is my code. If I comment out the lines like "data.top = new
FormAttachment(0, 5);" then it renders in the visual editor part. If I
uncomment the lines the error returns. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
