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.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

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.borderColor = 0x00FF00;
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.
