Rich's code threw an RTE because he added
the TextField as a child of some Container, and Containers require their
children to be IUIComponents. Your example doesn't throw an RTE because you are
adding the TextField as a child of the Button, which is not a Container. Non-containers
allow any kind of DisplayObject to be added as a child.

Yeah, that should work. Although, my
example works too, but can you tell why that is?
Anyway, I think the documentation of
TextField has to be updated. I added a comment to the livedocs.

Try creating an mx.core.UITextField instead of a flash.display.TextField.
UITextField implements the IUIComponent interface.

TextField Question
I have a
simple app that I want to have text show up using a TextField.
public function onTest() : void {
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.x = 100;
myText.y = 100;
myText.width = 75;
myText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
myText.height = 50;
myText.width = 200;
myText.backgroundColor = 0x849383;
myText.text = "Test Test Test Test Test Test";
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.color = 0xFF;
myText.setTextFormat(format1);
addChild(myText);
}
I click on the button and get the error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.text::TextField@11551769 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
at
mx.core::Container/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::addingChild()
at mx.core::Container/addChildAt()
at mx.core::Container/addChild()
at Step5/onTest()
at Step5/___Button1_click()
The addChild does not like that it is not a UIComponent. The addChild
works for text, Label and other UIComponents. I cannot get the
textField to show up. Eventually I want to have a component that
includes one or two text areas that are read only to the user, what is
the best way to do this?

Re: [flexcoders] Simple TextField Question
You're trying to add the TextField to a Container which only takes IUIComponent objects. However, I believe UIComponent takes DisplayObjects. So you have two choices: (1) add the TextField to a UIComponent and then add that component to the container, (2) use UITextField which is basically the same except it is a UIComponent.

No. You must pass an IUIComponent to a
Container's override of the addChild() method. The parameter is typed as
DisplayObject because AS3 doesn't allow an override to change a method
signature.
