Hey everyone!

Is it possible to get the color being used in a dynamic textbox through actionscript? I am formatting the textbox with css and I want another element in my movieclip to match whatever color the text is in that textbox dynamically. Ive tried everything I can think of. Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance!
