Error setting a TextObject text. from script.

function CSplash::onAdd(%this)		//CSplash is the class given to my T2DSceneObject in the Editor
									//VersionTextGui is the Name given to a T2DTextObject inside that SceneObject
{
	echo($Version);					 //This shows the Version Correctly
	VersionTextGui.text = $Version;	 //No Error here...
	echo(VersionTextGui.text);		 //This outputs a BUNCH of Gibberish into the console.
	
	//At this point if I bring the console up and type the echo command above, it shows "A", which is what it shows
	//on the screen. If I repeat the command to set the text to $Version, it then displays the version on the
	//screen. Why isn't this working from script? It works fine from the Console...
