I think is something related to the name of your textField, if it was created
in the designing or programming mode
I got this sample from the ActionScript manual, tested it and it works fine
this.createTextField ("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 10, 40, 160,
120);
my_txt.background = true;
my_txt.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.type = "input";
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
this.createTextField ("width_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 10, 10, 30,
20);
width_txt.border = true;
width_txt.maxChars = 3;
width_txt.restrict = "0-9";
width_txt.type = "input";
width_txt.text = my_txt._width;
width_txt.onChanged = function ()
{
my_txt._width = this.text;
};
this.createTextField ("height_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 70, 10, 30,
20);
height_txt.border = true;
height_txt.maxChars = 3;
height_txt.restrict = "0-9";
height_txt.type = "input";
height_txt.text = my_txt._height;
height_txt.onChanged = function ()
{
my_txt._height = this.text;
};
