Tried to create a dynamic text field but then realized I cant embed the font the usual way (i.e. the properties panel). Anyone know how this is done? Here’s what I got so far…

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“btn”, 1);  
btn.createTextField(“txt”, 10, 0, 0, 100, 50);  
txt.autoSize = true;  
btn.txt.embedFonts;  
btn.txt.text = “Press”;

btn.txt.setNewTextFormat(myFormat);

myFormat ???
