Text Field Bounding Box width

So i looked around and couldn’t find a stright answer on this. How do i set the width of a dynamic text field and add wrapping?

stop();
for (var i=0; i<thisXML; i++) {
_root.createTextField(“Text_Field”+i, i, i250, 0, 0, 0);
_root[“Text_Field”+i]._width = 100;
_root[“Text_Field”+i].wordWrap = true;
_root[“Text_Field”+i].text = amount;

}

should i be doing this in a textformat object?

any help would be cool.
