Gradient Glow - TextField - Change Glow in AS3?

:battery: hello universe :nurse:

So I was wondering. I made a gradient glow within the FLASH IDE on one of my textfields. I was wondering if there is a way to change the glow in as3? Apparently you can not change the glow in the flash IDE. It has to be white/black gradient.

Thanks!

if (univserse == hello_return_signal) {
testField.text = “hi again”;
}
