myTextArea.setStyle(“buttonColor”, 0xffffff);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“highlightColor”, 0xffffff);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“borderColor”, 0xffffff);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“shadowColor”, 0xffffff);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“borderCapColor”, 0xffffff);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“shadowCapColor”, 0xffffff);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“shadowCapColor”, 0xffffff);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“borderCapColor”, 0xffffff);  
//  
myTextArea.setStyle(“embedFonts”, “verdana”);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“fontFamily”, “verdana”);  
myTextArea.setStyle(“fontSize”, 8);

Hello,

I wanted to remove the default “3D” borders around my textArea and make it all white, and that worked with the code above (everything before the //) . But when I wanted to change the font and fontsize with setStyle(), that didn’t work.

someone any tips ?

I tried myTextArea.fontSize = 8; but that doesn’t work either…
