I have followed along with the Creating a text scroller tutorial and had no problems with it.

I do have one question.  
Is there a way to change the backround color of the text box and add a border as well?

When i test my movie, and go to view the “List Variables” i can see the HTML code where i could change the colors, but i am not sure how to actually do that.

If someone could help me on this i would appreciate it. Thanks.
