fine :)

Andreas, if i understood you correct, what you want is this:
var format1_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1_fmt.font = "Arial";
var format2_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format2_fmt.font = "Courier";
var string1:String = "Sample string number one."+newline;
var string2:String = "Sample string number two."+newline;
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 300, 200);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.text = string1;
var firstIndex:Number = my_txt.length;
my_txt.text += string2;
var secondIndex:Number = my_txt.length;
my_txt.setTextFormat(0, firstIndex, format1_fmt);
my_txt.setTextFormat(firstIndex, secondIndex, format2_fmt);

Ok i'm confused.
fmtOne = new TextFormat("Arial",20);
fmtTwo = new TextFormat("Arial",40);
blah = _root.createTextField("myField",10,0,0,100,100);
blah.autoSize = true;
blah.setNewTextFormat(fmtOne);
blah.text+="First ";
blah.setNewTextFormat(fmtTwo);
blah.text+="Second";
In my mind, based on what the docs say about setNewTextFormat and on
what i'm 99% sure i've done before in some circumstance, the text field
in this case should contain a small "First" and a larger "Second".
Instead setNewTextFormat() is acting like setTextFormat, setting all the
text to fmtTwo. Is there a reason for this? If i try setting SPECIFIC
letters to a textformat with setTextFormat(from,to,format) it works fine.
I thought setNewTextFormat() only affects text added to the textField
AFTER it has been called, not the complete field at any time, anywhere.
As a better example of the kind of use i have for it; the actual problem
AS:
function sum() {
var count = 17;
var langCount = 4;
var searchString = "A name";
var norm_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
norm_fmt.color = 0xFFFFFF;
norm_fmt.size = 16;
norm_fmt.font = "ConduitNorm";
var bold_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
bold_fmt.color = 0xEFB21E;
bold_fmt.size = 18;
bold_fmt.font = "ConduitBold";
sumField.text = "";
sumField.embedFonts = true;
sumField.setNewTextFormat(bold_fmt);
sumField.text += count;
sumField.setNewTextFormat(norm_fmt);
sumField.text += " NameTones in ";
sumField.setNewTextFormat(bold_fmt);
sumField.text += langCount;
sumField.setNewTextFormat(norm_fmt);
sumField.text += " different languages, was found on: ";
sumField.setNewTextFormat(bold_fmt);
sumField.text += searchString;
}
As above, all the text is set to bold_fmt, which is not cool
