I am not sure if I understood what your question is, but you're not setting the value for text inputs:

I prefer it the following way:

//make the array an instance variable instead of local var
//so that it can be accessed from other functions if required.
public var textInputs:Array = [];

for(var str:String in columnsData)
{
  var ti:TextInput = new TextInput();
  ti.text = str;
  addChild(ti);
  textInputs.push(ti);
}

You can access the values using textInputs[0].text etc.

if(textInput != null){
  for(var i:Number = 0; i < textInputs.length; i++)
    trace(textInputs[i].text);
}

(getChildAt(0) as TextInput).text //first
(getChildAt(1) as TextInput).text //second

If your sprite contains something other than TextInput at indices 0 & 1 you'll get null reference exception.
