I am using the following code to create a UIFTETextField:

```
var text1_txt:UIFTETextField = new UIFTETextField();
        addChild (text1_txt );

```

Which results in the following error:

Parameter direction must be one of the accepted values.

I have absolutely no idea what this is about since I have not set anything.

I am using Flex 4.1 ACTIONSCRIPT, not MXML.
