Error trying to set textFormat

programming flash

Here’s the basic code:



public class Game extends MovieClip {
    private var default_color:Number=0x000000;
    private var rollover_color:Number=0x333333;
    private var selected_color:Number=0x333333;

public function askQuestion() {
    answerSprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickAnswer);// make it a button
    answerSprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,answerRollOver);//Added 10/28
    answerSprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,answerRollOut);//Added 10/28
}

public function answerRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var rollOverFormat:TextFormat=new TextFormat;
    rollOverFormat.color=rollover_color;
    event.target.setTextFormat(rollOverFormat);
}

public function answerRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var rollOutFormat:TextFormat=new TextFormat;
    rollOutFormat.color=default_color;
    event.target.setTextFormat(rollOutFormat);
}

}

The MouseEvent.CLICK works fine but there’s a problem with how I’m coding the rollover/rollout. Any ideas?
