I’m trying to add bullets to some dynamic text I’ve got from some xml. everything works in my movie text wise except the bullets. I’m adding a textformat - here’s current code as part of initial load (change event is handled elsewhere (again, works except for bullets)

```
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.bullet = true;
roomdesctext.setTextFormat(textFormat);
roomdesctext.text = roomxml.image[0].attribute("description");
```
