First, i’m sur e you’be done it but, put your textfield as a dynamic textBox. hen you can name it mytextBox\_txt (The suffix “\_txt” will show you all properties and function you can call from a textFiled)

To change the text it’s .text (Duh !)  
To make it bold, you can use .htmlText instead of .text and write it in html. Or you can use the textFormat property, making a new textformat and put it in the textfield.

If it don’t work, show me some code
