First time flexer long time flasher

Question

Hi im having a bit of trouble getting an xml file that uses
namespaces parsed into my first flex app, the basic structure of
the xml is as follows::
<rss version='2.0' xmlns:IJKGD='
http://www.betadesigns.co.uk/RSS/'>
--------other stufff-------------contianer etc-----
<item>
<title>a title</title>
<description>a description</description>
<IJKGD:grammar>
<IJKGD:grammarID>1</IJKGD:grammar>
</IJKGD:grammar>
</item>
i can get the first two tags into the app ie title and
description however i cant get the< IJKGD:grammar> tag to
display this is the code i have attached to a text box
<mx:TextArea x="20" y="235" width="400"
htmlText="{dgGrammar.selectedItem.IJKGD:grammar.IJKGD:grammarID}"
/>
however this throws up an error:: unfortunately it displays
some characters in chinese dont know why.
Severity Description Resource In Folder Location Creation
Time Id
2 1084: 应该有 rightparen (在 colon
之前)。 IJKGD.mxml IJKGD line 17

Hi,
I think you have to create a namespace to access that
property
something like
var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("IJKGD", "
http://www.betadesigns.co.uk/RSS");
htmlText.selectedItem="{dgGrammer.selectedItem.ns::grammer.grammerID}"
