[flexcoders] Rich text editor in TabNavigator causes runtime exception.

[parkerwhirlow]

Hi all,

I have placed a RichTextEditor into a tabNavigator, and I get the
following runtime error. See sample app. If you remove the
tabNavigator, then the RichTextEditor works fine.

Any ideas? Am I doing something dumb?


TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.

mx.controls::RichTextEditor/mx.controls:RichTextEditor::createChildren()
        at mx.core::UIComponent/initialize()
        at mx.core::Container/initialize()

and
