Code help on local db connection

Question

I have a simple db and want to pull that onto the stage into
a TextArea with html format so I can use some of the db fields as
urls. For testing I have this code creating two text fields, one
with text.html call and one with the appent.text.
The first textarea displays my text in html format, but only
the last row in the database, the second box ignores the html, but
also only shows me the last item in the db. My trace returns all
the rows in the db.
Please help, I have looked everywhere...

trace(myText);

Hi Funkystrat,
Each time through your for loop, you reset
var myText = "";
So it wipes out what was there previously.
Set this line outside the for loop. Also, set up the TextArea
outside the loop.
