Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null - actionscript-3

Question

in my program, the user has to input a number between
10 and 99 and the program will convert the number into words. The program somewhat works; however, when I input a number between 20 and 99, say for example, 45, the program will print out, "Forty fiveForty." This is when "Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null," appears in the output section. I also can't seem to make numbers from 11 to 19 to work. Instead of showing the number in words, the result says "Error." Kindly edit my code in order for the program to function correctly and print out a number between 10 and 99 correctly.
// This line makes the button, btnConvert wait for a mouse click
// When the button is clicked, the convertNumber function is called
btnConvert.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, convertNumber);

txtinNumber.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clearLabels);

You're referencing the teensDigit as if it were an int, but you created an array. Change your teens() function to
if (num == 10) {
and so on, rather than teensDigit ==
Alternatively, you could simply use a lookup table. Below is a simplified version of what you were trying to do which can be compiled on a clean project.
convertNumber(7) // Outputs: seven
convertNumber(13) // Outputs: Thirteen
convertNumber(56) // Outputs: Fifty six
function convertNumber(i:int):void {
var tens:int = Math.floor(i / 10);
var ones:int = (i > 9 && i < 20) ? i : i % 10;
trace(lookup.double[tens] + lookup.single[ones])
}
var lookup:Object = {
"single":[
"",
"one",
"two",
"three",
"four",
"five",
"six",
"seven",
"eight",
"nine",
"Ten",
"Eleven",
"Twelve",
"Thirteen",
"Fourteen",
"Fifteen",
"Sixteen",
"Seventeen",
"Eighteen",
"Nineteen"
],
"double":[
"",
"",
"Twenty ",
"Thirty ",
"Forty ",
"Fifty ",
"Sixty ",
"Seventy ",
"Eighty ",
"Ninety ",
