I did a search here on the kirupa boards, and didn’t come up with anything.

🙂 has anyone messed with this kind of thing (setting styles on a component instance) I’m reading the help files in Flash MX 2004 pro. Does anyone have an fla or a more in depth tutorial 🙂

In specific I’m looking to skin the TextArea Component :ko:

thanks in advance
