I am sure I am asking another stupid question but…

How do I change the border color of an input text box?

Thanks

add a layer above the input text box and draw what you want your border to look like, gradient filles, images, whatever you want and then make sure it’s lined up with the input text box’s border and then set the input text box to have no border. that way instead of just changing the color you can completely change the box

i’m pretty sure there is a variable that you can specify to change the border color of a text box, but i don’t have flash here at work so that’s the solution i have for you off the top of my head

i hope this helps
