Help with AS3 Error

1

I’ve solved the silly error I’ve made, but Thanks to _kp for the friendly reply!

I’m new with AS3 and Basically what i’m trying to do is to load an xml file
format below:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<buttons>
    <button>
        <name>Introduction</name>
        <text>
            <![CDATA[ VALID HTML CODE ]]>    
        </text>
    </button>
<buttons>

and load a list of name to the list (list) to the left and the html code to the right (textArea).

there’s only 1 place (frame 1) with AS3 code:
(I’ve dragged the Textarea component and list component in the library and they show up … i just can’t solve the error…)


import fl.controls.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.text.*;

var myTextArea = new TextArea();
var myList = new List();

addChild(myTextArea);
addChild(myList);

myTextArea.width  = 400;
myTextArea.length = 580;
myTextArea.x = 420;
myTextArea.y = 10;

myList.width  = 400;
myList.length = 580;
myList.x = 10;
myList.y = 10;


var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
/*
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    trace(e.target.data);
}
*/
myList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);


function itemChange(e:Event):void
{
    myTextArea.text = myList.selectedItem.data;
}


var xml:XML;

function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    xml = new XML(e.target.data);
    var il:XMLList = xml.button;
    for(var i:Number=0;i<il.length();i++)
    {
        myList.addItem({label:il.name.text()*,
                    data:il.text.text()*});
        trace(il.name*);
        trace(il.text*);
    }
}

loader.load(new URLRequest("helpfile_v002.xml"));

I got the below error:


ReferenceError: Error #1074: Illegal write to read-only property length on fl.controls.TextArea.
    at test002_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

when i Ctrl Enter on the fla file.

Any help is really really appreciated since i’m lost on what i’m doing wrong…
