Flash Catalyst TextInput [closed]

Question

I have an issue with creating a specific TextInput (text field) component in Flash Catalyst.

Here is how I want my TextInput component to behave:

1. When the TextInput component is in it's "normal" state, I want it to be with a black stroke.
2. When it's being clicked (for typing), I want the component to have a green stroke and a green glow.
3. When the component is deselected, I want it to have a black stroke as in it's normal state, and naturally, the text should remain visible.

Answer 1

1. Draw a rectangle on your page.
2. Convert it to a custom component.
3. Inside the component (where you can add states), add a text input.
4. Change the focus ring to the color you want.
5. Duplicate the state and add a glow to your rectangle (and modfiy the other lines to show hide as you need them).
6. Add an interaction on the text field, so that when it recieves focus it goes to the second state. And another interaction when it looses focus to go back to the initial state.
7. Make sure you have something else on the page that accepts focus, like another input.
