Question

How can I change the select (“highlight”) color of an TextField in actionscript 3? I’ve got an input textfield with white text on a black backdrop and as a result, selections are invisible, which is horrible for usability. Thanks!

Try this:

var c:Color = new Color(MyTextField);

c.setTransform({rb:255});
