Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a TLFTextField instead of a normal text field as the target for the output of the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component?

Everything works fine with a normal TexField, but when I point it at a TLFTextField created with AS, it fails and gives me this:

```auto
Coercion failed: cannot convert "pooh" to flash.display.DisplayObject.

```

when I run:

```auto
my_FLVPlybkcap.captionTarget = "pooh";

```

Thanks!
