Hello all,

i am trying to change the font property of a textfield in actionscript.

i tried this but i am not seeing the effect of it. Actually nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?

\_root.attachMovie(“nav1”,“nav”+coun, coun);  
\_root[“nav”+coun].textItem = “me”;  
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();  
myTextFormat.font = Arial;  
\_root[“nav”+coun].textItem.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
