Recipe 9.2. Creating a
Background for a Text Field
Problem
You want to make a visible background behind the
text in a text field.
Solution
Set the text field's background
property to true. Additionally, you can change the color
of the background by setting the object's backgroundColor property.
Discussion
By default, text fields don't have a visible
background. However, you can create a background for a text field
by setting the background property for that object to
true:
field.background = true;
By default, the background for a text field is
white (if made visible). You can, however, assign the background
color by setting the value of the object's backgroundColor
property, which accepts a hex RGB value corresponding to the
desired color, as shown here:
field.backgroundColor = 0x00FFFF; // Set the background to light blue
