[flexcoders] Rich Text Editor and XML

[stldvd]

Let me try rephrasing my earlier post and see if I can get a response:

I've got a RTE called outRTE into which I'm loading XML. I need to act 
conditionally on the XML, so I've got to use a for-each-in loop to go through 
it. 

   for each (var item:XML in xData.Content.P.*) {

     var textToColor:String = item.toString();
     outRTE.textArea.text += item.toString();
     var tr:TextRange = new TextRange(outRTE,false, 2, 5);
     tr.color = "red";
   }

I can see that the item data is coming in OK, but the coloring of the text just 
doesn't happen. 

Can anyone see why?

Thanks,

David
