Hi im skinning the scrollbar in a textarea component, it works just fine, exept from two things…
First off when i click in the textarea, an annoying green border is displayed… second… the text is dark green, i want it to be white… ive tried the following:
[COLOR=black]
[COLOR=blue]import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
\_global.styles.TextArea = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
\_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle(“highlight”, “transparent”); [COLOR=red]//This should remove the green highlight?
[/COLOR]\_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle(“backgroundColor”, “transparent”);
\_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle(“borderStyle”, “none”);
\_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle(“marginRight”, 34);
\_global.styles.CheckBox.setStyle(“color”, 0xFFFFFF);[/COLOR]
And about the green text… in my own styled movieclips for the scrollbar, this actionscript is there:
[COLOR=blue]// in order to participate in cascading color styles
// you must have this code in each movie
// clip containing a graphic element. You can set the
// color to a name like “border” or a value like 0xFF0000.
// If you don’t have these lines, you will be drawn in
// the color you authored, but if the user changes color
// you wlll likely change color as well
mx.skins.ColoredSkinElement.setColorStyle(this, 0xFFFFFF);
[/COLOR]
i cant really understand this… Anyone? =)
[/COLOR]
