I’m trying to set the size of a textfield. Here’s the code that’s not cutting it:

this.createTextField(“money”,2,100,50,30,20);

money.textColor=“0xFF0000” ;  
money.selectable=false;

MyMoney=new TextFormat();  
MyMoney.size=40;  
MyMoney.font= “Verdana”  
money.setTextFormat(MyMoney);

This code, which I got from actionscript bible and other places, is not working…any solutions Flashers? would appreciate an succor…
