Hello all - I have a parent SWF that uses a certain style I created (within the Flash Library itself) for the TextArea component. That is to say I’m not using the “setStyle” function because I got it to look how I want it to within the library object. This parent SWF loads various child SWFs from time to time, which brings me to my problem…

When a child SWF uses the TextArea component, it’s using the style from the parent SWF, even though when I compile it on its own it looks the way I want it to.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I’d like the child swf to use its own TextArea style…

Thanks!
