Hi there, i want to make a function to globalise (\_global.) TextFormat’s that have loaded in so that i can use them from any movie. The function needs to do this:

```auto
_global.H1_textFormat = H1_textFormat;

```

but then for all TextFormat’s. I was thinking of something like:

```auto
  
function globaliseStyles(){
for (instances of TextFormat){ 
_global.this = this; 
delete this;
//(this=the textformat)

}

```

Clearly this is faulty but can someone show me how to do this?
