Remove border from TextArea component?!?

programming flash
1

I’m working in ActionScript 3 and, yet again, I’m starting to regret trying to use components as it seems I always run into a brick wall when using them : (

I have a TextArea component instantiated and added to the display list programmatically via ActionScript 3 code (not AS2, which is all I could find reference to on the net about this).

How to disable the border so it doesn’t show around the TextArea component? I’ve tried a bunch of things, like for example:

myTextArea.setStyle(“border”, “false”);
and
myTextArea.setStyle(“borderStyle”, “none”);

but nothing seems to work. Help!

I am having the same issue. Adobe documentation S@CKS on ActionScript 3.
mytextArea.border = false; worked with AS2 but not AS3. I’ve been searching for quite some time and after all the hassle I think I may just be going back to AS2 as it is much less of a headache.
