Please, Help Embedding Fonts in TextArea , TextInput and Alert Components

Question

Please, forgive my bad english.
Here is my problem (using Flash CS3 ActionScript 2).
I have on the stage :
• an instance of TextArea with Instance Name :
message_ta
• an instance of TextInput with instance Name : name_ti
• and I have in the library an instance of Alert
component, with default linkage Identifier : Alert
for each one of this components I need to embed the same
font.
I already created a New Font in the library, choosing the
font I want to use, giving it name "my_font" and size 8px.
Now, please, can someone help me to write the actions to
embed that font (my_font) inside the TextArea, TextInput and Alert
components ?
Thank you .

You're right,my mistake, components don't have a font
parameter, I was thinking of the textField. In any case you can use
setStyle.
1. Import the font(s) that you want to use into your movie's
Library.
2. Set each font's Linkage to be exported for Actionscript.
Set the identifier name as you like
3. Set your component(s) on the stage.
4. Name each component instance.
5. In a frame action space, define the style for each
component:
componentName.setStyle("fontFamily","fontName");
componentName.setStyle("fontSize",12);
componentName.text = "hello";
componentName.embedFonts = true;
There is a section in the online help that lists the various
style properties that you can set for each component.
