Adding some style

The text fields that we've created will display in the default font but we can use a text format object to control the style of the fields.

The label format is defined as shown below:
Lformat = new TextFormat();
Lformat.bold = true;
Lformat.font = "Verdana";
Lformat.size = 10;

We use the setTextFormat method to apply the initial formatting and the setNewTextFormat method to apply the formatting after the user types text into the fields.

this["ChartLabel"+i].setTextFormat(Lformat);
this["ChartLabel"+i].setNewTextFormat(Lformat);
