Like if there's a ghost in my program :) - New to java

There's something strange about it.
In my InitGui() methode he thinks my game object still has null values but in my actionperformed method I can use the game object.

public class FightJPanel extends javax.swing.JPanel {
	private TestFrame main;
	private HeroQuest game;
	private JLabel jLabelHero;
	private JButton jButtonDice;
	
	public FightJPanel(TestFrame frame, HeroQuest hero) {
		super();
		main = frame;
		game = hero;
		initGui();
		
		
	}
	
	private void initGui() 
	{
		game.getType(); // THIS DOESN'T WORK, IT GIVES A NULL //POINTEREXCEPTION
		try {
			//SOME LAYOUT STUFF WAS HERE
			{
				jButtonDice = new JButton();
				this.add(jButtonDice, new GridBagConstraints(2, 0, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0, GridBagConstraints.CENTER, GridBagConstraints.NONE, new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0), 0, 0));
				jButtonDice.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(91, 55));
				jButtonDice.setText("roll dice");
				jButtonDice.setBorder(new LineBorder(new java.awt.Color(0,0,0), 4, true));
				jButtonDice.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255,255,255));
				jButtonDice.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
					public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
						jButtonDiceActionPerformed(evt);
					}
				});
			}
			{
				jLabelHero = new JLabel();
				this.add(jLabelHero, new GridBagConstraints(1, 0, 1, 1, 0.0, 0.0, GridBagConstraints.CENTER, GridBagConstraints.NONE, new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0), 0, 0));
				//jLabelHero.setText(game.getActionPoints())> THIS //DOESNT WORK ASWELL > NULLPOINTER EXCEPTION;
				jLabelHero.setOpaque(true);
				jLabelHero.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
				jLabelHero.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
				
				jLabelHero.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(58, 20));
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
	}
	
	private void jButtonDiceActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
		jButtonDice.setText(game.getType());//GUESS WHAT IT WORKS HERE 
		
		
		
	}
	
	

}

Are you sure that hero parameter passed to the constructor of FightJPanel is not null?
