Here are the [source files](http://members.cox.net/flashtesterdev/test.zip). The question is not so much a question as it is a problem, and the problem is…I cannot get my externally loaded CSS to apply to my text field. Now this isn’t a normal text field because I know how to do the simple way. This text field is a item inside of a Movie Clip. And the movie clip has its own class (homePanel.as .:INCLUDED IN THE ZIP FILE:.) and the style sheet is applied via my\_mc.setStyle(); look at the method please and tell me what I am doing wrong.
