Ok, so I have a dynamic textfield and I have css applied to it, it works fine.  
HOWEVER, when I add some styles (some margin) it’s ignoring them! agh.

[AS]var newStyle:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
newStyle.setStyle(“a:link”, {color: ‘#BED57B’, fontWeight: ‘bold’});  
newStyle.setStyle(“a:hover”, {color: ‘#F09A61’});  
newStyle.setStyle(".images", {marginRight: ‘60’});  
newStyle.setStyle(".mytest", {marginLeft: ‘100’});  
pro\_text.styleSheet = newStyle;[/AS]

[AS]pro\_text.htmlText = “\<img src=‘images/1-overview.png’ class=‘images’ hspace=‘0’ vspace=‘3’/\>\<p class=‘mytest’\>This is a test paragraph.\<br/\>\</p\>\<p\>And another test paragraph here.\<br/\>\</p\>\<p\>\<a href=‘pdfs/mypdf.pdf’\>My Test PDF\</a\> (pdf)\</p\>”;[/AS]

Any ideas?
