The code my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt) only changes the bold property of the text field’s
default text format, because the
bold property is the only one defined in my_fmt. All other aspects
of the text field’s default text format remain unchanged.
When
TextField.getTextFormat() is invoked, a TextFormat object is returned with all of its
properties defined; no property is
null.
