Styles, not properties, are used to change attributes such as color: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/controls/TextInput.html#styleSummary
Use the setStyle() method to change color. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: timgerr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Changing the color of a textinput Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:59:43 -0000 I am creating an textinput and I was wondering how to change the color of it. I am doing this dynamically, here is what I am doing: private var txt:TextInput = new TextInput(); txt.maxChars = 255; addChild(txt); There is no option to change the color, do I have to use css to do this? Thanks, timgerr
