Normally, you adjust a TextArea using setStyle. If you want to use setTextFormat, subclass TextArea

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 >
