how to set tileList component's font to be anti-aliased action script 3

Question

I have a tileList component and i was wondering how one might go about antialiasing the font inside of each label. I have the font embedded using:

leftList.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);

I have tried targeting the label specifically with no luck so far.

did not work.

var theTextField:TextField = leftList.label;
leftList.antiAliasType = "advanced";

anyone have and suggestions?

Thanks.

Try to set a text format also, and make sure the font you're using is embedded.

e.g.

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Verdana",12,0x990000);
leftList.setRendererStyle('textFormat',format);
leftList.setRendererStyle('embedFonts',true);
