i’ve had success in making the textarea transparent using the \_global.styles. code, BUT when i use the scroller for some reason the scrollbar is screwed up. when i push the down arrow it it selects the text. ive used the myText.label.selectable = false; code to disable it being slectable. but it still effects the text when i use the scroller, anyone heard of this???
