TextArea help please

Hey guys,

I’m hoping someone can help me. I’ve been trying to figure this out for some time now and am finally giving up and begging for help! I’ve tried searching this all over the place, but with no luck. My problem is pretty simple, I just can’t seem to make it work.

I have a textarea that loads into a movieclip. The textarea has a border I need to get rid of. Also, I need to know how to set the background color of the textarea or at least make it transparent. I’ve found several different ways to do this, but none of them will work. When I try to put the actionscript in myself, I get an error
saying an OnClipEvent handler is needed. I’m not sure what to do here. Can someone post the exact script I need to make this work? I’ve seen TextArea.border_mc._visible = “false”;,
but I don’t know what goes before this! The same with TextArea.setStyle(“backgroundColor”, “#ffffcc”); (I may have gotten these two wrong just now, I’m doing it off the top of my head, but I had cut and pasted the code directly into Flash from where I had found it!) I’ve tried substituting my instance name for textarea, but that didn’t work either.

Please help, I’m lost! :q:
