[AS2] TextArea Component - bg transparent?

[jmgraffix]

Hey Brisa or anyone of you geneous' out there - I need help with this one now!

I just applied the transparent background code from Brisa but now I want to make the rollovers a20% alpha.

I'm using Flash Pro 8 and need something written in AS2 to allow for an alpha style for the "selectionColor" and "rollOverColor" properties.

I currently have this for the colors (which work) but I want to make the colors 20% alpha:

_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.setStyle ("rollOverColor", 0xF0FF00);
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.setStyle ("selectionColor", 0x1228F6);

Any help on this will be gratefully appreciated!

hi guys,

Im using the folowing code:
_global.styles.TextInput.setStyle("backgroundColor ", "transparent");
_global.styles.TextInput.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");

to set the textArea background to invisible. but when it loads in external content (when live) there is an UGLY flash of white (only the textArea background)

how do i fix this, or what component asset is it (and where) that i need to edit. I've totally modified the "ScrollBar Assets" to my liking.

anyone know how to do this? thanks

I'm a complete Flash noob. I have no idea where I'm supposed to enter this code. I tried doing it on the actionscript for the text area itself and it didn't work. I'm working in AS2, by the way.

_level0.componentName.depthChild0._alpha=0

Where "componentName" should be the instance name of your component.

Tested and working (I've been looking for the answer to this for ages).

Cheers,
