I am using flash cs3, but am programming in actionscript 2.
I'm trying to populate a list from an xml file somewhat unsuccessfully. I have used (nearly) the exact code before and it works perfectly.
My problem is that whilst i am populating the list component using the addItem function, the items become added but the label is not visible, but I can still choose an item from the list.
The label is a variable - which i trace in the code and it traces fine, and have tried to hardcode a variable e.g.
myList.addItem("A",i);
where i is the loop counter (which increments correctly), and the "A" doesn't show up either.
Does anyone have any suggestions (please)?
