| TextField.border Property | Flash 5 |
| Boolean; turns text field border on and offFlash 6; accessible only via authoring tool in Flash 4 and | read/write |
The Boolean border property specifies whether to show an outline around theField's bounding rectangle (true) or not (false). The outline color is specified by borderColor (defaults to black). To change the size of the rectangle, use the _width and _height properties. To add a background color to the rectangle, use the background and backgroundColor properties.
To produce a more elaborate background for a text field, set background and border to false, and manually draw a shape behind the text field.
Put a black border on theField_txt:
this.createTextField("theField_txt", 1, 0, 0, 80, 20);
theField_txt.border = true;
theField_txt.text = "hello world";
Now make the border blue:
theField_txt.borderColor = 0x0000FF;
TextField.background, TextField.backgroundColor, TextField.borderColor, TextField. _height, TextField._width
