Can anyone tell me why it wouldnt be displaying the text. The child is added and I can tell because I mouse over and the cursor changes, however, there is no text. The trace shows the sizes. however, its just not showing up…

function cartInit():void {
    
    
    for (var i:int = 0; i < cartXML.Ratio[ratNum].Print.@Size.length(); i++) {
        
        carTotal2 = cartXML.Ratio[ratNum].Print.@Size*;
        var size:size1 = new size1();
        size.y = (size.y + 20) * i;
        
        holder.addChild(size);
        size.text = carTotal2;
        trace(size.text);
        
    }
    
}
