Rich Text Editor bug

Question

Hello,
My flex website at
http://www.theplaygrounds.co.uk/The_Playground.swf
throws the below error when I click on Contact or B/I/U on the Rich
Text Editor.
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property string not found on
mx.controls.RichTextEditor and there is no default value.

What is actually the bug here?
Also, on the contact page, I need to be able to scroll down
for the submit button. How could I implement this? I've tried
everything.
Thanks

Hi,
I have this code for validation:
<mx:StringValidator
id="nameValidator"
source="{userName}"
property="string"
minLength="2"
/>
<mx:StringValidator
id="nameValidator1"
source="{userComment}"
property="string"
minLength="2"
/>
<mx:StringValidator
id="nameValidator2"
source="{userEmail}"
property="string"
minLength="2"
/>
This acts on the contact form's forms, as these are the only
textboxes in the web app.♠
The contact form code:
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas label="Contact" width="100%" height="100%"
verticalScrollPolicy="off" backgroundAlpha="0.7">
<mx:Panel
title="Feedback"
left="10" top="10" right="10" bottom="10"
layout="absolute"
verticalScrollPolicy="on">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
private const NL:String = "\r";
private function submitButtonClickHandler
(event:MouseEvent):void
var userDetails:String = "You submitted the following
details:" + NL + NL;
userDetails += "Name: " + userName.text + NL;
userDetails += "Email: " + userEmail.text + NL;
userDetails += "Hide email? " + (hideEmail.selected ? "Yes"
: "No") + NL + NL;
userDetails += "Comment:" + NL + NL + userComment.text;
Alert.show (userDetails);
private function emailButtonClickHandler
(event:MouseEvent):void
var msg:String = "You can use the navigateToURL() method to
open a URL"
msg += " using a call similar to the following:\r\r";
msg += "navigateToURL (new URLRequest
('mailto:[email protected]'));";
Alert.show (msg);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Panel

Apologies if this is a basic bug, as I am new to the Flex
platform.
Thanks for your help♠♠
