Creating flv skins in cs3 and using them in Flash 8

Question

We created a custom skin in flash cs3 but we want to
implement the custom skin into some flash 8 projects. We have been
having problems and when we exported with actionscript 2.0 all hell
broke loose.
Any ideas on how to get this to work??
thank

Answer 1

this code works
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tfor.font = new _TrebushetMS().fontName;
tfor.italic = true;
tf.width = 300;
tf.height = 200;
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.border = true;
tf.defaultTextFormat = tfor ;
tf.text = "this is a test";
this.addChild(tf);
This code does not work
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tfor.font = new _TrebushetMS().fontName;
tfor.italic = true;
tf.width = 300;
tf.height = 200;
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.border = true;
tf.setTextFormat(tfor) ;
tf.text = "this is a test";
this.addChild(tf);
i don't know why
