The UITextField can be extended, but there is no way to get rid of the border/padding directly. If you really want, you should be able override x, y, width and height of UITextField to fake out the bounds with an offset of 2 in each direction, but overriding those properties can get tricky. Good luck if you want to go with that.

Hi All, I also posted this question to the Adobe boards (albeit in completely the wrong forum...). In a UITextField there's some padding around the edge of the component - just a few pixels of whitespace that clips the font so it doesn't touch the edge of the box. How do I get rid of it? The best example to see this artifact is to resize the height of a text input to about 18 or so, then try typing in it. With a few adjustments, it's quite feasible to fit a font in here if it weren't for the clipping. I noticed further up the hierarchy things extend from flash.text (which to my knowledge is non-editable)... so I'm prepared to accept this may be impossible. Has anyone done it before? Best Regards, Ciarán
