I keep getting 1119: Access of possibly undefined property FATTIP through a reference with static type flash.text:Font.

when trying…

var poloroidOviTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var fatTipFont:Font = new FATTIP();
poloroidOviTextFormat.size = 24;
poloroidOviTextFormat.color = 0×000000;
//debug ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if (debug) {
debugText.appendText(String(fatTipFont) +”font \n”);
}
//End debug ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
poloroidOviTextFormat.font = fatTipFont.FATTIP;
poloroidOviText.setTextFormat(poloroidOviTextFormat);

Wish I found this 2 hours ago - thanks though I think this should read as having the var and class named the same caused an error

var _helve:Font = new helve();
var buttonLabel = new TextField();
addChild(buttonLabel)
var txtFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat.font = _helve.fontName;
txtFormat.color = 0×000000;
txtFormat.size = 14;
buttonLabel.embedFonts = true;
buttonLabel.text = “place label text here”;
buttonLabel.setTextFormat (txtFormat);

The class is *not* in the first line. An instance of the Helve Class is created on the first line.

The class is generated automatically by Flash when the .swf is compiled. The author wrote: “In the pop window, click export for ActionScript and give it a class name.” When you close the linkage dialog, Flash will tell you that it can’t find the specified class, but it will kindly create it for you on compilation. The generated class is then embedded into the .swf, but unless you decompile it, you’ll never see it…
