Actually I know it is but I forgot how to do it. But how do I change the color of a form field in flash 5 or mx. which ever one. I know this is a extremely dumb question but I am have a rough monday. :0
Hi,
Convert it to a symbol, then go into the effects panel located in the instance panel, click on the advanced tab & change your colors from there.
I hope this helps.
If I change it to a symbol I lose my variable and instance name. I am using this form together with asp and xml so I need my variables. I just want the text box to be a different color than white. 
If you have another suggestion I am open to it. Thanks
What are you talking about ? Put a background (???)

Uncheck border/background and place a symbol behind the textfield in the color you wish.
That’s about it.
