Hi,

I just started with trying prototype methods. With the help of a found function I wrote this:

code:


MovieClip.prototype.addProperty('_color', this.getColor, this.setColor);



function getColor(){

    return new Color(this).getRGB();

}

function setColor(rgb){

     return new Color(this).setRGB(rgb);

        

}


That works great. Anywhere in the movie I can now change a color of an object with object._color = 0xff0000; (pretty excited about this)

However I'm trying to do the same thins with _bold. It would be great if you could just alter the textformatting by saying textbox._bold = true;

This is what I'm trying (and does not work):

code:


MovieClip.prototype.addProperty('_bold', this.getBold, this.setBold);



function getBold(){ 

   format = new TextFormat();

   return format.bold;

}

function setBold(bool){

   format = new TextFormat();

   format.bold = bool;

   return this.setTextFormat(format);

}


Notatation or syntax may seem a bit odd, but I'm useing SWiSHmax (please don't bash me.)

Thanks for any help!
