Dynamic Textbox Flash

Hi im using Flash 8

Is there anyway to load an external image (jpg/png) and display it as the background for a dynamic textbox. Preferably I want the textbox also to resize to the dimensions of the incoming image.

Regards

In that case, you could just add the text dynamically, and select the depth. Just do something like:

_root.createTextField("myText_txt",this.getNextHighestDepth,50,50,100,30);
myText_txt.text="this is another test";

you can also set multiple properties for your textfield, like color, background color, html and more...
