Hi all,

i used this code to change the text format but the text simply doesn’t show up!

\_global.formatCima = new TextFormat();  
formatCima.color = 0xF0FFFF;  
formatCima.size =24;  
formatCima.font = “Verdana”;  
\_root.txm1.txfd1.tx1in.txto.setNewTextFormat(formatCima);

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
