Hello, I’m am trying to set up some Dynamic text to have some TextFormat code on them. Now I have this AS:

//create TextFormat Objects that define the states of the sub-menu options  
var btnDisable:TextFormat = new TextFormat(“Bitstream Vera Sans”, 12, null, true, true);  
var btnEnable:TextFormat = new TextFormat(“Bitstream Vera Sans”, 11, null, false, true);

//disable the sub-menu option that corresponds to the currently loaded section  
this.ourHistoryMC.ourHistory.setTextFormat(btnDisable);

For some reason when I test this the ourHistory text doesn’t show. But, when I take the bold and = it to false, it show’s. (the bold is the forth param).

Does anyone have any idea’s why this is happening???

thanks,
