Example
The following example creates a text field with a background color that toggles on and off
when nearly any key on the keyboard is pressed.
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 320,
240);
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.text = "Lorum ipsum";
my_txt.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
my_txt.background = !my_txt.background;
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player
7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components
DepthManager class instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
backgroundColor (TextField.backgroundColor
property)
public backgroundColor : Number
The color of the text field background. Default is 0xFFFFFF (white). This property may be
retrieved or set, even if there currently is no background, but the color is only visible if the text
field has a border.
