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, i_250, 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.
