Alpha property does change textfield prop

1

I’m switching the alpha property from 1 to 0 and back on an instance of a custom class that extends a sprite. The code works for the most part. The only thing that does not turn alpha 0 some textfields associated with buttons. I cant think of why the entire button can be alpha 0 and the textfield does not get affected. Any thoughts?

function bsRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
	if (menuCont.getChildAt(1).alpha > 0) {
		menuCont.getChildAt(1).alpha = 0;
	} else {
		menuCont.getChildAt(1).alpha = 1;
	}

}

I’m sure I’m missing simple =/

for the textfield if you set the property embedFonts to true then it can be alpha 0.
