[flexcoders] Add textfield error

[Jonathan Lee]

Hello all,
I have a application to in creationComplete event to execute a function called 
initApp();

This is initApp()..
import flash.text.TextField;
public var mtTXT:TextField;
public function initApp():void{
                myTXT = new TextField();
                myTXT.x = 343; myTXT.y = 10; 
                myTXT.width = 196; myTXT.height = 300;
                myTXT.wordWrap = true; myTXT.border = true;
                myTXT.multiline =true;
                
                             
                addChild(myTXT);
}

It compiles ok, but when it runs, it says TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion 
failed: cannot convert flash.text::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.
    at 
mx.core::Container/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::addingChild()



But that TextField is inherited from DisplayObject which suppose to be abled to 
used within addChild() function.

Any thoughts.

Thanks.
