AS2 Problem:

I have a bunch of words stored in an array and I need to change there colour and underline them. I thought of doing a for look something like this:

```auto
 
 
for (chr in hlword) {
 format = new TextFormat(); 
 format.color = 0x0024ff;
 format.underline = true;
 hlword.text.setTextFormat(format); 
 
}

```

hlword is the array name

But that doesn’t seem to be working, does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about it?

In real need of help before I gaining a nervous twitch :wt:

Thanks
