leading in combo box textfield

Question

Why the heck doesn't the leading get set on the textField in the combobox! ahhh! The text format is being set correctly because the font/color/size are all good, and the dropdown is all good. It's just the textField..

private var tf_arial_enabled:TextFormat = new TextFormat(new ArialRegular().fontName, 16, 0xea8443, null, null, null, null, null, 'left', null, null, null, 2);

theComboBox.setStyle("textFormat", tf_arial_enabled);

ttheComboBox.textField.setStyle("textFormat", tf_arial_enabled);

theComboBox.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", tf_arial_enabled);

theComboBox.setStyle("embedFonts", true);

theComboBox.textField.setStyle("embedFonts", true);

theComboBox.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);

I haven't been here in awhile, sorry for code formatting if there ends up being a problem after posting

no, i want to move the text up in the text field rather than have it ride the bottom of the field. looks terrible. The dropdowns all accept the leading argument and follow it beautifully. The text field doesnt.

A hack

theComboBox.textField.setStyle("textPadding", -2);

You have "ttheComboBox.textField.setStyle("textFormat", tf_arial_enabled);". Also a leading is basically a line-spacing - are you sure you want multi-line text in your ComboBox?
