'Processing can't access PShape array

I'm afraid I have a problem with a "NullPointerException".

I'm writing a Processing (v4) Sketch, which should load multiple svg files from a folder, into a PShape Array. Initializing the array works fine, giving it a length works fine but somehow when I want to overwrite a value, I get a NullPointerException.

int imageCount = 1;
PShape[] images;


void setup() {
  images = new PShape[imageCount];

  for (int i = 0; i<images.length; i++) {
    println(images.length); //prints the expected result 1
    images[i] = loadShape("platzhalter/Platzhalter_2_"+str(i)+".svg"); 
    // throws NullPointerException
  }
}

I hope someone here can help me, thx!

Okay so I solved it in the meantime. Turns out that processing has some kind of limitations in terms of interpreting svg files. I had to transform text to outlines in the adobe illustrator export settings to make it work. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.
