Not possible, without using ugly hacks (eg. layer Movieclip under Textfield, draw background shape yourself). This is one of the features i'd LOVE to see implemented in FP8.5 (and, borders on spans, etc - or even: access to a mini DOM within HTML Textfields, with a native way of mapping x/y coords to elements of that mini DOM). The inline box model of FP's Textfield always sucked, and is continuing to suck as far as i can see. cheers, claus. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
