Damn formatting....
public function DistributorsForm () :void{
// sets styles ... set size =14 instead of default 16...
StyleFlair.snapOnTextArea(details_ta, {size:14});
details_ta.textField.selectable = false;
var details_ta_overlay:Sprite = new Sprite();
details_ta_overlay.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF, 0);
details_ta_overlay.graphics.drawRect(details_ta.x, details_ta.y,
details_ta.width - details_ta.verticalScrollBar.width,
details_ta.height - details_ta.horizontalScrollBar.height);
details_ta_overlay.graphics.endFill();
addChild(details_ta_overlay);
}
