Font array help, please

Question

Hello
I am a beginner to Flash and I am wondering if I can create
an array so that the fields in my online form are input with the
same size text and font style (10pt Arial normal is fine).
At the moment, font/size do appear slightly different when
data is entered in the form, although the Properties panel tells me
they are the same.
Would I do it something like this:
inputs=[name_txt,email_txt,business_txt,country_txt,message_txt];
for( var elem in inputs) {
inputs[elem].fontColor = #ffffff;
inputs[elem].fontStyle = Arial;
A the moment, the code I have (which is not wonderful) looks
like this:
var mainTL:MovieClip = this;
//start off with submit button dimmed <--I don't actually
use this
submit_mc._alpha = 80;
var dataSender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var dataReceiver:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
create listener to 'wake up' submit button <--I don't
actually use this
var formCheck:Object = new Object();
formCheck.onKeyUp = function() {
if (name_txt.text != '' &&
email_txt.text != '' &&
business_txt.text != '' &&
country_txt.text != '' &&
message_txt.text != '') {
//clear any alert messages
alert_txt.text = '';
//enable the submit button
submit_mc._alpha = 100;
} else {
//remain disabled until all fields have content
submit_mc._alpha = 80;
Key.addListener(formCheck);
/*#######SET STYLES FOR TEXT FIELDS <--I don't actually
use this#######*/
//define styles for both normal and focussed
//set hex values here that work with your site's colors
var normal_border:Number = 0x000000;
var focus_border:Number = 0x000000;
var normal_background:Number = 0xffffff;
var focus_background:Number = 0xffffff;
var normal_color:Number = 0x000000;
var focus_color:Number = 0x000000;
inputs=[name_txt,email_txt,business_txt,country_txt,message_txt];
for( var elem in inputs) {
inputs[elem].border = true;
inputs[elem].borderColor = normal_border;
inputs[elem].background = true;
inputs[elem].backgroundColor = normal_background;
inputs[elem].textColor = normal_color;
inputs[elem].onSetFocus = function() {
this.borderColor = focus_border;
this.backgroundColor = focus_background;
this.textColor = focus_color;
inputs[elem].onKillFocus = function() {
this.borderColor = normal_border;
this.backgroundColor = normal_background;
this.textColor = normal_color;
Selection.setFocus(name_txt);
submit_mc.onRelease = function() {
if (name_txt.text != '' &&
email_txt.text != '' &&
business_txt.text != '' &&
country_txt.text != '' &&
message_txt.text != '') {
alert_txt.text='';
mainTL.play();
dataSender.name = name_txt.text;
dataSender.email = email_txt.text;
dataSender.business = business_txt.text;
dataSender.country = country_txt.text;
dataSender.message = message_txt.text;
dataReceiver.onLoad = function() {
if (this.response == "invalid") {
mainTL.gotoAndStop(1);
alert_txt.text = "Sorry, but your email address appears
invalid"
} else if (this.response == "passed") {
mainTL.gotoAndStop(4);
//send data to ASP
dataSender.sendAndLoad("Email.asp", dataReceiver, "POST");
} else {
alert_txt.text = "Please complete all fields";
Many thanks for any help.

I have done that it the Properites panel but when I click
CTRL and Enter and complete the email form myself, I can see there
is a difference in fonts in one of the fields - although the
Properties panel tell me otherwise.
I just though AS would force the issue.
