I am trying to change a small portion of the text inside of a TextArea.  My
attached code references the textField of the TextArea component, and attempts
to apply the setTextFormat command on that textField.  For some reason this
does nothing.  Any ideas?

acpmtf = new TextFormat();
acpmtf.font = i.Font_Family;
acpmtf.size = i.Font_Size;
acpmtf.color =i.Already_Completed_Page_Message_Color;

points.htmlText =
_msm.getCStyle("DefaultAlertText_Already_Completed_Page").toString()+"<br><br>";
// points is a TextArea  The getCStyle function calls up the text to enter
into the area from my custom style manager.
       
acptl = points.text.length;
       
points.textField.setTextFormat(acpmtf,0,acptl);
