Не работает Timer, почему? - Java

Формулировка задачи:

Доброго времени суток. Никак не могу понять в чем проблема с моим таймером. Пишу на swing (так вышло). При нажатии на кнопку вылазит такая серия ошибок. Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at deadplom.DEAD$18.actionPerformed(DEADPLOM.java:306) at javax.swing.Timer.fireActionPerformed(Timer.java:313) at javax.swing.Timer$DoPostEvent.run(Timer.java:245) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:311) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:756) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$500(EventQueue.java:97) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:709) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:703) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(ProtectionDomain.java:76) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:726) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:201) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:116) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:105) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:101) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:93) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:82)
