I have a simple app that I want to have text show up using a TextField.
public function onTest() : void {
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.x = 100;
myText.y = 100;
myText.width = 75;
myText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
myText.height = 50;
myText.width = 200;
myText.backgroundColor = 0x849383;
myText.text = "Test Test Test Test Test Test";
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.color = 0xFF0000;
myText.setTextFormat(format1);
addChild(myText);
}
I click on the button and get the error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.text::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.

The addChild does not like that it is not a UIComponent. The addChild
works for text, Label and other UIComponents. I cannot get the
textField to show up. Eventually I want to have a component that
includes one or two text areas that are read only to the user, what is
the best way to do this?
