I'm using createTextField to make some tooltips. The AS dictionary says:

A text field created with createTextField receives the following default TextFormat object:
font = "Times New Roman"
How or where can I change this font?

Using the textformat object.

Can someone tell me how I can fade out an object with dynamic textFields properly?
Cause the objects are fading out, but I can still see the text, strange...

OK, I've at least found textformat object in the As dictionary, but how does it get applied?
