TextField.setTextFormat() not working?

Question

Hi.
I am trying to get setTextFormat working, but I can't seem to get it to work.  The textfield appears and has the text I want, however, the font is just not changing.
Here is my code:
package  {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
public class Photograph extends MovieClip {
  var pictureName:TextField = new TextField;
  var pictureNameFormat:TextFormat;
  public function Pictures(aName:String) {
         pictureNameFormat = new TextFormat();
         pictureNameFormat.font = "Verdana";
         pictureNameFormat.align = "center";
         pictureNameFormat.size = "48";
         pictureName.setTextFormat(pictureNameFormat)
         pictureName.x = 500;
         pictureName.y = 500;
         pictureName.text = aName;
         addChild(pictureName);
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: Forgot a line referring to how the text changes itself.
Edit 2: I forgot to add where I created the instance of the textfield and just added it.

Here is the updated code, I tried to tidy it up a bit:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;
package{
     public class Photograph extends MovieClip {
          var pictureName:TextField;
          var pictureNameFormat:TextFormat;
          var verdana:Font;
          public function Pictures(aName:String) {
               pictureNameFormat = new TextFormat();
               pictureName = new TextField();
               verdana = new VerdanaClass();
               pictureNameFormat.font = verdana.fontName;
               pictureNameFormat.align = "center";
               pictureNameFormat.size = 48;
               pictureName.setTextFormat(pictureNameFormat)
               pictureName.x = 500;
               pictureName.y = 500;
               pictureName.text = aName;
               addChild(pictureName);
Here is a screenshot of my setup for the font and class.  I also tried the TLF option and that did not make a difference.
