Jiri, What version of Flash are you using? What version of the Flex sdk? Does the swf you are loading use timeline code?
Have you tried putting in some traces? var tField:TextField = _sprite.getChildByName("field") as TextField; trace("tField =", tField); I did not notice before but, based on the code you have shown, this discrepancy in arguments should cause an error: addFormatting( treatmentTimeInfo , STD_LABEL_FONT_SIZE , WHITE); function addFormatting(tField:TextField):void{ trace("addFormatting function called"); // more code } Progress?
