    [F8] Writing Text to the Screen

    I am trying to write text to a text box but I cant seem to change the size, color or any attributes but position. I update it with this line.

    I update it from a movieclip script ( doteater movieclip ).

    _root.mytext.text = _x;

    The fla is included as an attachment.

    Code:
    function CreateTextBox()
    {
       _root.createTextField("mytext",_root.getNextHighestDepth(),100,100,600,400);
    
       mytext.multiline = true;
       mytext.wordWrap  = true;
       mytext.border    = false;
       mytext.color     = 0xffffff;
       //mytext.border    = false;
       //mytext.size      = 24;
       //trace( mytext.size );
    
       myformat = new TextFormat();
       myformat.color     = 0xffffff;
       myformat.bullet    = false;
       myformat.underline = true;
       myformat.size      = 16;
    
       mytext.text = "";
       mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
    }

    Save this as a .xtm file if you plan on testing the fla.
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xtm>
    	<header>
    		<FileFormatVersion value="1.0"/>
    		<Width value="24"/>
    		<Height value="24"/>
    		<MaxDesnity value="1000"/>
    		<TileSetFileName value="dot.ts"/>
