New to as3 … Do anyone know what causes a dynamic text field to display text in stacking order?

(example)

s  
ta  
c  
k  
i  
n  
g

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ this is my code \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
var myXML:XML = new XML;  
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(“BodyShop.xml”));  
myXML.ignoreWhite = false;

myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);  
function processXML(e:Event):void {  
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);  
var ShopArea:XMLList=myXML.TR.AreaHeader.text();  
var ItemContent:XMLList = myXML.TR.ShopAreaInfo.text();  
shopHeader.htmlText=ShopArea.toString();  
descriptionArea.htmlText = ItemContent.toString();  
}

overlay\_tf.closeOverlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, retractOL);  
function retractOL (me:MouseEvent):void {  
var overlayTM:TransitionManager=new TransitionManager(overlay\_tf);  
overlayTM.startTransition({type:Fly, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1});  
overlayTM.addEventListener(“allTransitionsOutDone”, hideOL);  
}  
function hideOL(e:Event): void {  
setChildIndex(overlay\_tf,0);  
}  
btn\_4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn4);  
function btn4(event:MouseEvent):void {  
var ShopArea:XMLList=myXML.TR.AreaHeader.text();  
var outsideArea:XMLList = myXML…Obj\_number.(@description == “4”).ObjTag.text();  
var ItemContent:XMLList = myXML…Obj\_number.(@description == “4”).ObjInfo.text();  
shopHeader.htmlText=ShopArea.toString() + outsideArea.toString();  
descriptionArea.htmlText = ItemContent.toString();  
descriptionArea.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, tf\_4a);  
}

function tf\_4a():void {  
setChildIndex(overlay\_tf,10);  
TransitionManager.start(overlay\_tf,{type:Fly, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1})  
var tfArea:XMLList = myXML…Obj\_number.(@description == “4a”).ObjInfo.text();  
overlay\_tf.subDescriptionArea.htmlText = tfArea.toString();  
}
