Hello there here is the code , which pulls the array from the web service and prints out to the screen if you mind have a look at my code , the code simply cant print the text by SetText:void method .

Thanks for your help attention, being open minded to help developers

function loadArray(evt:ResultEvent):void {

```
   var groupList:ArrayCollection = evt.result as ArrayCollection;       

```

var j:int = 0;

```
for ( j=0;j&lt;40;j++) { 
var tmpText:String = groupList[j].CatName.toString();
	catName_XML.push(tmpText.substr(0,1).toLocaleUpperCase()+tmpText.substr(1,20).toLocaleLowerCase());
 }
 trace(catName_XML.length);
 trace(catName_XML.toString());

 myGreeter.myArray=catName_XML;
 

  LoadedXML();
  	 
 
} 

//private function filterAnswersByAgeGroup(from:int, to:int):Array {

```

function LoadedXML( ):void{

```
loading.alpha = 0;

trace(myGreeter.myArray);

catName_XML=myGreeter.myArray;
trace("en son array uznluk" + "

```

" + catName\_XML.length);  
drawNames();

}

function drawNames()  
{  
//if (i \< catName\_XML.length)  
// {  
catName\_XML=myGreeter.myArray;  
setTEXT();  
trace("draw names function, names could not be loaded here ");  
//i++;  
//drawNames();  
//}  
//else  
// {  
// trace(“ekrana yazdırıldı.”);  
// trace(“her yazdırma da bu mu var”) ;  
// } // xml olarak basarken drawNames() func  
}
