Manually or via Actionscript?

If manually, create the text field, then right click on the textfield and choose “Properties” to open the properties panel.

Next to the font name is a number, that represents font size, you can click on it and it will open up a slider you can drag, or you can manually input a number in there.

If via actionscript you will need to use the size property of the TextFormat object.
