leading:Number [optional] - A number that indicates the amount of leading vertical space
between lines.
Example
The following example creates a TextFormat object, formats the stats_txt text field, and
creates a new text field to display the text in:
// Define a TextFormat which is used to format the stats_txt text field.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = true;
my_fmt.font = "Arial";
my_fmt.size = 12;
my_fmt.color = 0xFF0000;
// Create a text field to display the player's statistics.
this.createTextField("stats_txt", 5000, 10, 0, 530, 22);
// Apply the TextFormat to the text field.
stats_txt.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);
stats_txt.selectable = false;
stats_txt.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...";

underline (TextFormat.underline property)
public underline : Boolean
A Boolean value that indicates whether the text that uses this text format is underlined (true)
or not (false). This underlining is similar to that produced by the tag, but the latter is
not true underlining, because it does not skip descenders correctly. The default value is null,
which indicates that the property is undefined.
Note: For Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai, this property works for paragraph-level formatting only.
Example
The following example creates a text field and sets the text style to underline.
this.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,200,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = true;
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.underline = true;
mytext.text = "This is my first text field object text";
mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
