Transparent Textbox Trick (AS2)

I’ve seen the question of how to make a transparent textbox in Flash come up a lot online, but I’ve yet to see a solution that works. I figured one out that is working for me. I name each textbox with its own unique instance label, such as “textbox1,” and then enter this code into the actions for the frame:

textbox1.background=false;

Hope this helps.
