flash actionscript: I have seen a number of posts on this board and others on this topic but I have
not been able to find a solution to the problem. The form is very simple.
Nothing is added programmatically as everything is on the stage and there is no
actionscript addressing the fields. I am using an ezForm component by
Flashloaded. I have done this several times before and it worked fine by just
dragging the components to the stage without any other work but now it just
won't work. Is there something I am missing?

I read in the support docs that the default color was blank so I tried to use
setStyle to color the text but it did not seem to have any effect. I used a
workaround to just get the form up and running for my client but I would still
like to figure out why my initial effort would not work.
The workaround was that I used regular input text fields instead of textinput
components and it worked fine.

if font color and background color have enough contrast to rule out color as a cause, then this problem is usually caused by needing to embed a font.
