createTextField/embedFont problem

I’m having trouble getting my created text field to take my linkage font…



var link_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
	link_fmt.font = "myFont";
	link_fmt.color = 0xff0000;
	
this.createTextField("webLink_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 18, 295, 18);
	webLink_txt.embedFonts = true;
	webLink_txt.text = "this is a test";//this._parent._parent.list_array[ID].linkA;
	webLink_txt.setNewTextFormat("link_fmt");

the only thing I can think of is that the mc containing the textfield is also dynamically attached through the linkage idintifyer.

it will not even change colors
