Ok, I have a simple form on a .SWF and wanted to change the background color of the input fields. I found a message here showing me how to do it:

[http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9704&highlight=input+field+color](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9704&highlight=input+field+color)

For some reason, now the input fields echo the following lines:

\_level0.form.email

(or when viewing from browser: \_level0.container.form.email)

All I did to configure the input fields was to add the following:

email.background=1  
email.border=1  
email.borderColor=0x3E3022  
email.backgroundColor=0xB6A289

Any ideas?
