Does anyone know if it is possible to make a textfield object transparent. I have tried wrapping the textfield in a movie and making the movie transaprent, but the textfield still shows through.

Thanks in advance

I did a search on both textfield transparency and textfield. Even read some post 😉 but no cigar

well not sure about making a textfield transparent but you could always make a graphic, change the transparency, and place it over your text field to give it that effect. check out textfields attributes and see if there is a transparency option
