Here's an example:

textBox.onSetFocus = function() {
	textBox.background = true;
	textBox.backgroundColor = 0xff0000;
};

Hope it helps!

yea thats gd thnx

is there anyway of making it so i dont have to type it out each time for a different textbox??

I have about 5 textboxes and don't want to type it out 5 differnt times, harder to update.

is it an array or something??

Sure you could do a global function for it.

//pass in the instance name of the text box

_global.setTextBox = function(textBox,mode){
   if(mode == "on"){
      textBox.background = true;
      textBox.backgroundColor = 0xff0000;
   }else if(mode == "off"){
      textBox.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
   }
}

textBoxName.onSetFocus = _global.setTextBox("textBoxInstanceName","on");
textBoxName.onKillForcus = _global.setTextBox("textBoxInstanceName","off");

You could also do it with an array.

Hope it helps.
