okay - this is quite a quick one to solve
the problem you're having is that you're overwriting the htmlText each
iteration so you're only outputting the last iteration of the loop
what you need to do is add the output of the loop iteration (that is every
time the loop fires) to the htmlText as it's created
so instead of:
mainText.htmlText = "<b>"+cueArray[i]+"</b>";
you need
mainText.htmlText = mainText.htmlText + "<b>"+cueArray[i]+"</b>";
or more simply
mainText.htmlText += "<b>"+cueArray[i]+"</b>";
This will put everything into a long line - if you want each loop iteration
to appear on a separate line you should add <p> tags or a <br /> tag so:
mainText.htmlText += "<p><b>"+cueArray[i]+"</b></p>";
hope this helps
