Any reason why my font size won’t go past 150px (or somewhere around that)

```auto

        _slideNumberText = new TextField();
        _slideNumberText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
	_slideNumberText.embedFonts = true;
	_slideNumberText.selectable = false;
		
	var embededFont:Font = new HelveticaBold();
        var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
        format.font = embededFont.fontName;
        format.size = 500; // THIS DOESN'T MAKE THE FONT 500px. IT'S MORE LIKE 150px
        format.color = Settings.color1;
        _slideNumberText.defaultTextFormat = format;
	_slideNumberText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
	_slideNumberText.text = "2";
	addChild(_slideNumberText);

```
