Hi,  
Is there a way to change either the alpha value or the color of the scrollBar that displays automatically in the textArea when I set wordWrap = yes?

I have been able to change only the color/alpha for the textArea box itself, (myTextArea.depthChild0.\_alpha=0), but I only want to change the scroller, I dont want to make it invisible, it’s just that its color is too chalky-white.  
Is there a way to change the scroller’s alpha or color?

I’ve been searching to no avail. Thanks  
☹
