[RESOLVED] must be doing something minor and dumb- XML into List component

[krashe1313]

RESOLVED*

I hope this is simple. Seems like i just have something a hair off.

On my stage, i have the List component with the instance name of "theList".
Along with the following code:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

var xml:XML;

function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
	xml = new XML(e.target.data);
	var il:XMLList = xml.item;
	for (var i:uint =0; i <il.length(); i++)
	{
		theList.addItem({label:il.item.text()[i]});
		trace(il.text()[i]);
	}
	
	
}

loader.load(new URLRequest("http://localhost:8888/MAMP/SHIELDS/products.php"));

Now products.php, links to a mySql database and those two are playing together just fine. When I run

trace(il.text()[i]);

I get the complete item list that looks exactly like this in the output window:

Beach Ball
LawnChair
Hammock
Electric Razor
Pool Cue
Coffee Machine
Organizer

Perfect.

I just can't get the item list to appear on my list component "theList" on line:

theList.addItem({label:il.item.text()[i]});

All i get is a blank rectangle for each item that i can roll over. No text though.

Thoughts?

Big thanks!!!

*In my line:

theList.addItem({label:il.item.text()[i]});

i accidentally put the .item in before the text() and I didn't need to because i declared it earlier at:

var il:XMLList = xml.item;

i knew it was a dumb mistake. thanks for your time
