Im having a problem working out how to skin a textarea component.  
I have only one component in my file, which is the text area. I just want to change the scroll bar etc to make it suit my sites colours.

Im doing this as an assignment, its just a simple site. Somebody on these forums saved my life with a past assigmnent i did… so Im back with a few more problems with this one which hopefully ppl can help me with 🙂

So firstly, I just need to know how to skin the textarea. Ive looked in Flash help, but it just doesnt explain it clearly

thanks
