If you want to use TextFormat, you can apply a textformat to a text
selection. A quick way to do this without creating a bunch of new
textformat objects is to copy the current format into a temp var
using tf.getTextFormat(), change the color, and the apply it to the
selection with
my_textField.setTextFormat(beginIndex:Number, endIndex:Number,
textFormat:TextFormat)
or of course you can maintain a few TextFormat objects if you have a
set of styles you wish to work with.
Alternatively you could use a CSS stylesheet, but this may be a rare
circumstance where textFormat is better.

I know how to set the color of the whole text by applying a new
Text format object to a text field but I was wondering how I might
apply a different color to a substring of the target text field
while preserving the original text format color for the rest of the
text.
I am writing a class that loops through the index of a string and
changes the case of a character and I would also like to be able to
change the color without complicating things by dynamically
splitting the text into separate text fields and aligning them
based on the text's width.
