I read this tutorial on making forms in flash:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm)  
and it seems pretty simple. so i go ahead making one. I’ve com across a little problem though. I cant seem to create a ‘fashionable’ text input field.  
Can you change the default border color settings on a text input field? for example on [this](http://www.deftcreative.co.uk/deft_hifi.htm) website the input fields have dotted line on them instead of a solid color. How did he do that? Also as of now i am using the text tool to make text input fields, should i be using the compents or something?  
thanks!
