Hey all,

quick question about actionscript stylesheets. I understand that you can define styles for specific selectors like ‘a’ or ‘.myCustomSelector’, but is there a default selector for the entire textfield? Or would I have to face my fear that I’d have to encapsulate all the text in the textfield with a \<body\> tag of some sort? (this is not ideal since the textfield in question is dynamic and is updated pretty regularly)

Thanks for any pointers!
