Can you change the texbox component color? 2

[spook007]

I was just wondering if there was an action script that would allow me to change the background color of the textbox component. I know you can change the color of the font, but it would be nice to change the color of the box itself. Please let me know if anyone has ever heard of this. Thanks.

sure...give it an instance name...mybox eg

then main timeline

mybox.background = true;
mybox.backgroundColor = "0x0000FF";

you can do the same for border

_level0.my_textfield.backgroundColor = "0x00ccff";

if using oldnewbie dont forget to add

_level0.my_textfield.background = true;

otherwise it wont work.

Ok! My turn...

What Bill posted is not necessarily true. If the textfield has a border, no need to set the background to true, it will work!
