Help with changing text color

programming flash
1

ok, so this is for a baseball leauge that i take part in. They wanted to do a live update thingy on there site. What i want to do is make it so that when the game status variable = final then the text color changes of the team that lost.

 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { 
if(_root.game_status == "Final"){
     if(_root.home > _root.away ){
          format = new TextFormat(); 
          format.color = 0xFF3366;          
          hteam.setTextFormat(format);     
     }else{          
     format = new TextFormat();          
     format.color = 0xFF3366;          
     ateam.setTextFormat(format);          
     }     
     }
}

That is what i have so far for it, but i cant get it to fit all together and actually work. Hopefully i explained it well enough, sorry bout that. thanx for any help that you can give me…
