1. Yes. By default, flash.display.TextField does not have an opaque background; to get one, you have to set its background:Boolean property, and then you can set backgroundColor:uint to determine what color the background is.
2. Can you be more specific? What Halo component are you talking about? Label? Text? TextInput? TextArea?
