Changing Style of a "Combo/Scrollbox" in Flash MX

Help!

I hope someone knows a solution for my problem

I have a Flash Scene with a black background.
Into that scene, I inserted a standard “Combobox” from
the Flash component menu.

As I want to have a black background in the Combobox, too
and also white text instead of black text, I wrote an action-
script to customize my combobox (I gave it the instance name “splashesscroll”).

Voilà:

splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“arrow”, 0xFFFFFF);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“background”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“backgroundDisabled”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“scrollTrack”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“textColor”, 0xFFFFFF);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“textSelected”, 0xFF0000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“selection”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“highlight3D”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“highlight”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“face”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“darkshadow”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“shadow”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“foregroundDisabled”, 0x000000);
splashesscroll.setStyleProperty(“textSize”, 10);

That far, all looks right. The only problem is that there is
still a small white border around my combobox which I just can’t
get rid of!! :*(

Does anyone know what I have to add to my actionscript to
have that border changed to black?

I already consulted the flash help and also other flash sites,
but upto now, I couldn’t find any solution.

Thank you very much in advance
and may all of you have a wonderful start in 2003!!

open your library and go to

Flash UI Components -> Component Skins -> Global Skins

and open FBoundingBox

Theres a line box GROUP in there which you can edit and change to black.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Happy New Year!

You can also have a look at this http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/components.asp and at the AS dictionary for all the properties that you can set.
