var text1_txt:TextField = TextCreator.createTextField(TextCreator.FONT_MYRIADPRO_12, 0x0, 11, true, 0, true);
//var text1_txt:TextField= TextCreator.createTextField(TextCreator.FONT_MYRIADPRO_12, 0xffffff, 11, true, -0.3, true, TextCreator.TFA_CENTER);
//var text1_txt:TextField= TextCreator.createTextField(TextCreator.FONT_MYRIADPRO_12, 0x565656, 11);
text1_txt.text = "text1";
text1_txt.x = 93;
text1_txt.y = 20;
addChild(text1_txt);
