TextFormat is driving me crazy!

1

I’m trying to format the text for my preloaders on my page, but I can’t seem to get TextFormat to work. :m: I’ve been searching through forums and tutorials all day but can’t seem to find where I went wrong. If anyone could tell me where I’m being an idiot, it would be highly appreciated! PLEASE help. Here is the code (note there are three preloaders):

stop();

var thumb_spacingX = 57;
var thumb_spacingY = 67;
var i = 0;
var rows = 3;
var cols = 4;
var g = 0;

var portfolio_xml = new XML();
portfolio_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
portfolio_xml.load(“portfolio.xml”);

portfolio_xml.onLoad = function() {
_root.gd1 = portfolio_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
_root.gd2 = portfolio_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes;
_root.o1 = portfolio_xml.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.childNodes;
_root.o2 = portfolio_xml.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes;

_root.images = [gd1, gd2, o1, o2];

callThumbs();

};

function callThumbs() {
var clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var preloader = new Object();
clipLoader.addListener(preloader);

for (var row = 0; row < rows; row++) {
    for (var col = 0; col < cols; col++) {
        var currentPicture = images[g]*.attributes.thumb;
        
        if (currentPicture == undefined) {
            menu_mc.removeMovieClip(i);
        }
        
        currentThumb_mc = menu_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(i, i);
        currentThumb_mc._x = col * thumb_spacingX;
        currentThumb_mc._y = row * thumb_spacingY;
        
        clipLoader.loadClip(currentPicture, currentThumb_mc);
