> Affected OS(s): Windows XP

> What I am doing is programatically adding items to an HDividedBox.  There may or may not be any components added to the dividerbox.  Then later when I make a call to getDividerAt(i) I get the exception.  I believe the member dividedLayer of DividedBox is null since nothing was added to it.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Create a DividedBox, or in my case an HDividedBox
> 2. Make a call to the divider.getDividerAt(some number) 
> 3. It blows up with a null reference.  The null reference actually being the dividerLayer. 
>  
>  Actual Results:
>  TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

>  
>  Expected Results:
>  I would expect to get a null value returned to me if either there was no dividerLayer or the item at the index was null.
>  
>  Workaround (if any):
>  From what I can tell there is no getDividerCount method to check before making the call.
