[flexcoders] Error: Call to a possibly undefined method setTextFormat

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Why am I getting: " Error: Call to a possibly undefined method 
setTextFormat"?

I did a search on google and got zero results for "Error: Call to a 
possibly undefined method setTextFormat"
I totally do not understand why I am the only person in the history of 
the world who is getting this error.

Feedback IS a TextArea, and setTextFormat IS a method of TextArea so it 
makes no sense at all.



var formatter:TextFormat= new TextFormat();
                formatter.bold=true;
                formatter.size=30;
                feedback.setTextFormat(formatter);

<mx:TextArea id="feedback" width="230" fontWeight="bold" text="" x="350" 
y="100" >
              
        </mx:TextArea >
