Hello all,
I want to extend the RichTextEitor and I have a problem(s) with doing so.  So I 
wrote A action script class trying to extend the Rich Text Editor.  I wanted to 
just add a text box to the toolbar but am getting errors, here is my code:
ackage com.DaNaTiRTE
{
        import mx.controls.RichTextEditor;
        import mx.controls.TextInput;

        public class DRTE extends RichTextEditor
        {
                public function DRTE()
                {
                        //TODO: implement function
                        super();
                }
                
                private var _width:int;
                private var _height:int;
                public function SetItems():void
                {
                        var t:TextInput = new TextInput();
                        t.width = 40;
                        this.toolbar.addChild(t);
                }       
        }
}

I wanted to do somthing like this when I call the code
var a:DRTE = new DRTE();
a.SetItems();
addChild(a);

When I do the (a.SetItems) I get an error "Error #1009: Cannot access a 
property or method of a null object reference.".

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, and if so what I need to be doing 
correctly?  I want to not just build this code but understand how to extend 
components.

Thanks for the help and read.
