[Action Script] Can't change font size or color June,2012

It's a dynamic text field, it updates my score.

It works, as in it does update the score, and the border shows the color I want it to, and it's located where I want it, but I can't seem to change the color and font and font size of the actual text inside the text field.

Here is the part of my code that is relevant.

ActionScript Code: package {    import flash.media.Sound;    import flash.display.Bitmap;    import flash.display.Sprite;    import flash.events.Event;    import flash.events.MouseEvent;    import flash.ui.Mouse;    import flash.text.TextField;        import flash.text.TextFormat;        import flash.text.TextFieldType;
ActionScript Code: public class Game extends Sprite     {                        private var _mos:Bitmap = new Assets.mos();        private var _swatter:Bitmap = new Assets.swat();        private var _blood:Bitmap = new Assets.blood();        private var _background:Bitmap = new Assets.background();        private var _squish:Sound = new Assets.squish();        private var _blueBird:Bitmap = new Assets.bluebird();        private var _redBird:Bitmap = new Assets.redbird();        private var _greenBird:Bitmap = new Assets.greenbird();        private var _yellowBird:Bitmap = new Assets.yellowbird();        private var _points:Number = 1;                 private var _scoreText:TextField = new TextField();                 private var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();        private var _chirp:Sound = new Assets.chirp();



ActionScript Code: public function Game():void         {            if (stage) init();            else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);            displayObjects();        }

ActionScript Code: private function init(e:Event = null):void         {            removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, followSwatter);            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveMos);            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addPoints);            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, birdHit);            stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateScore);

ActionScript Code: public function displayObjects():void            {                _scoreText.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;                _scoreText.x = 387;                _scoreText.y = 417;                _scoreText.border = true;                _scoreText.borderColor = 0xFF33FF;                _scoreText.width = 60;                _scoreText.height = 30;                                _format.font = "Verdana";                _format.color = 0xFF0000;                _format.size = 20;                _format.bold = true;                _scoreText.setTextFormat(_format);                addChild(_scoreText);                        }                    public function updateScore(evt:Event):void            {                _scoreText.text = String(_points);                            }            public function addPoints(evt:MouseEvent):void                {                    if (_swatter.hitTestObject(_mos))                    {                        _points += 1;                                            }                                }

I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem, nothing I've tried or thought of has worked.

Thanks in advance for whoever helps.
