Picture this: When you create a form in flash and you fill out the first textbox, then you hit tab to get to the submit button, is there anyway to change the color of that horrible yellow box that goes around the submit button??

I don’t think you can change the color, but you can make your own box 🙂

Ilyas, now I see how it works. Problem is I when you set \_focusrect to false is disables the user from hitting enter on their keyboard. I like that feature, I don’t want that to change. I tried a few diferent codes to try to change the color of the “box” but nothing seems to work. I’ll keep at it and let know if i can conquer this small yet realy annoying task. 🙂
