Set it as HTML text and then use the usual HTML tags.

or use the TexFormat object, you could do something like this:

format1 = new TextFormat();  
format1.size = “16”;  
format1.color = “0xrrggbb”;  
texField1.setTextFormat(format1);

you can use many properties of the TextFormat, consult the actionscript dictionary for more details.
