Example

The following example creates a text field called

my_txt, sets the border property to true, and

displays some text in the field.

this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 320,

240);

my_txt.border = true;

my_txt.text = "Lorum ipsum";

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.

borderColor (TextField.borderColor property)

public borderColor : Number

The color of the text field border. The default is 0x000000 (black). This property may be

retrieved or set, even if there is currently no border.
