Dynamically populating textArea in Flashbuilder

Question

I cant seem to populate a textArea dynamically in flash builder. The only tutorials I can find are populating dataGrids or drop downs using a dataProvider. Heres the code I am using:

<s:HTTPService id="noteService"
                   url="http://localhost/webAppIntergration%20Thur/Assignment/servicePipe.php?action=getNoteXML"
                   />

The HTTPService gets sent when the app is created. And here is the textArea code I tried:

<s:TextArea text="{noteService.lastResult.notess.notes}"/>

The only thing that gets returned to the textArea is "[object Object]" so I guess I have to change it to a different type or a string before it can be output to a textArea field but i'm not 100% sure on how to do this.

Any help would be great thanks!

You can try some thing like below code to populate dynamic string to your defined text area: -

<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
        private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
        {
            //parse your result or type cast.
            textArea.text = noteService.lastResult.notess.notes
        }

    ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:TextArea id="textArea"/>
    <s:HTTPService id="noteService"
                   url="http://localhost/webAppIntergration%20Thur/Assignment/servicePipe.php?action=getNoteXML"
                   result="resultHandler(event)"
                   fault="trace('fault')"/>
