Is this possible? Basically I want to make the background of the Dynamic Text box have a color. How do I do this using AS3?

if your textfield has reference name tf, use:

tf.background=true;

tf.backgroundColor=0xrrggbb;

Thanks Kglad. Works if you put quotes around the hex color.

tf.background=true;

tf.backgroundColor="0xrrggbb";

you don't need quotes and, strictly speaking, you shouldn't use quotes. color is a uint though flash will convert the string to a uint, if it can.
