Not to sure if this is what you need.
Select your input field box. Goto your property menu (Control + F3)
Then select the color you want...
Thank you, nomad, for replying.
Alas, in Flash 8 Pro, if I select the input field which is on the stage I get no result if I do Control + F3... (I use a Mac) and I didn't find any Property menu.
And in the Property Palette, I didn't find anything to set up the highlighting color which must appear when a user select in the .swf the text he/she entered in this field...
Anyway, I thank you again for your interest in my problem!
:-)
