The thickness of the glyph edges in this TextField instance. This property applies only when

Example
This example creates two text fields and applies a
thickness of -200 to one and 200 to the
other. It assumes that you have a font embedded in the Library with the linkage identifier set
to
"Times-12". To embed the font, follow these steps:
■ Open your Library
■ Click the Library options menu in the upper right corner of the Library
■ Select "New Font" from the dropdown list
■ Name the font "Times-12"
■ Select "Times New Roman" from the font dropdown list
■ Press the "OK" button
■ Right-click on the newly created font and select "Linkage..."
■ Check the "Export for ActionScript" box
■ Accept the default identifier "Times-12" by pressing the "OK" button
var my_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_format.font = "Times-12";
