Cannot think why this code isnt working

[danhodkinson]

Hi, im just loading a simple one line of xml into a dynamic textbox(nested in a movieclip).
but nothing appears there however:
1. if i put the textbox on the stage it works
2. i have adopted code from an already working dyunamic text box which is nested inside 2 movieclips.
3. i have applied a trace and that gives me the right result

so i am at a loss...

here is my code i am using:

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); 
var xmlData:XML = new XML(); 

//askPage.nameA.condenseWhite = true;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beginXML);

function beginXML(event:MouseEvent):void {
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("askStudent.xml")); 
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
}


function LoadXML(e:Event):void { 
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data); 
ParseBooks(xmlData); 
//mapContainer.insideMap.library.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, test);
} 

function ParseBooks(askStudent:XML):void { 
var Student1:XMLList = askStudent.student.(@studentName == "Dave");  
trace(Student1.name)
askPage.nameA.htmlText = Student1.name;
} 

thanks

askPage.nameA.htmlText = Student1.name;
Shouldnt be
askPage.nameA.htmlText.text = Student1.name;
?
