Flash/Php Email Form Using Components

programming flash
1

Sorry if this has been asked a million times.

My question is I’m trying to make this
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm

I have everything set up the exact same way except I’m using
Components:
2 textInputs
1 textArea
1 button
1 UIScrollbar

So I want to give the 2 textInputs var names of name and email, give textArea name message, but I can’t acces the var field in the properties panel.

how do I give these components the same var names, like the ones for the text boxes in the flash_php_email.htm tutorial

and

  1. when I play the movie, and I input info into the textInputs and then tab to the next one, there is a green/halo highlight/border, can I change this color? How?
