Can't make text the right size

Question

HI , I'm having a frustrating problem. I'm trying to get the text announcing the levels in my game to be the right size when it's online. It works fine offline, but when I put the swf up online the text looks like it's about 2.4 instead of 24 like I am trying to get it. Here's the code in the start game method:
public function startGame():void
canFire = true;
paperHeadlineIsAdded = false;
NumOfDrops = 0;
pastLevelTwenty = false;
gameIsOver = false;
speedVar = 90;
textRemoved = true;
origNumOfPlanes = 25;
waitForNewLife = false;
newLevel = false;
bombDropSpeed = 3;
NumOfPlanes = origNumOfPlanes;
airplanes = [];
bullets = [];
bombs = [];
// init score
lives = 3;
shotsLeft = 10;
shotsHit = 0;
showGameScore();
levelNum = 1;
iconArray = [];
// create gun
aagun = new AAGun();
aagun.gotoAndStop(57);
addChild(aagun);
// create object arrays
airplanes = new Array();
bullets = new Array();
bombs = new Array();
//text formatting
textFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.font=font.fontName;
textFormat.font = "Guadalupe";
textFormat.size = 24;
textFormat.align = "center";
textFormat.color = 0xffffff;
trace(getChildAt(numChildren-1).name);
livesIcons();
// listen for keyboard
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyDownFunction);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,keyUpFunction);
//setup your fireTimer and attach a listener to it.
fireTimer = new Timer(300, 1);
fireTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fireTimerHandler, false, 0, true);
// look for collisions
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
var siren:Sound = new Siren();
chanD = siren.play(0,800);
// start planes flying
setNextPlane();
and here's the rest of the code that puts the text up in this method:
public function wait():void {
if(levelNum>19){
thisIsTheEnd();
pastLevelTwenty = true;
gameIsOver = true;
newLevel = false;
if(newLevel == true){
if(aagun.aagunGone == false){
textFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.font=font.fontName;
textFormat.font = "Guadalupe";
textFormat.size = 24;
textFormat.align = "center";
textFormat.color = 0xffffff;
levelNum ++;
speedVar+= 25;
newLevelText = new TextField();
newLevelText.width = 550;
newLevelText.y = 110;
newLevelText.selectable = false;
newLevelText.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
newLevelText.embedFonts=true
newLevelText.defaultTextFormat.size = 24;
newLevelText.text = "Level "+ String(levelNum);
waitForNewLife = true;
addChild(newLevelText);
textRemoved = false;
if (gameIsOver != true){
waitTimer = new Timer(5000,1);
waitTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, startNewLife);
waitTimer.start();
anyone have an idea why this is happening? Please let me know. Thank you.

I can't upload the html file with the swf because the place I have my game uploaded only asks for an swf file. Do you know why it doesn't work? when I load the html in my browser it works but not just the swf online.
