Since there's an option in the panel for formatting the bg and/or border of the textfield in a form, I guess it's doable but I can't figure out how. Any tips? (I've seen in other sites where they have the bg of the field a different color or the field actually looks embedded in the page...)Thank you.
 
In Flash 5, you cannot change the background of a dynamic textfield as such. You would have to draw a colored filled rectangle on a layer below the textfield. You would then have to uncheck the Border/Bg in the textfield.

But in Flash MX, you can now with the new TextObject, change the color of the background with AS.
