I am creating a form my flash website. The flash window has a black background, so when I go to create an input text box, I want the text box to have a black bg with a white border around it. To get the border I selected “Show border around text” in the input text props box, but it automatically gives me a white bg and it seems there is no way to change the fill color or the bordercolor for that matter. Anyone know how to change these properties?
