</div>

parts of this will work.  
the agentText.leading= 133; does not respond.  
textColour seems to work fine.

any advice???

```auto

var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
agentText.setNewTextFormat(fmt);
agentText.leading= 133;
agentText.html = true;
agentText.bold= true;
agentText.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
agentText.wordWrap = true;
agentText.multiline = true;
agentText.label.condenseWhite=true;
agentText.text = this.firstChild.childNodes[3].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

```
