Change dynamic textbox background colour

[Matthew226905128uzo]

Any ideas how to make the text box display a background? The font changes but the background doesn't.

 if (displayedItem === _this.display.text) { 
     textBox.text = `${displayedItem} ${fuelOrder}`;     
  	 textBox.font = "23px Arial" // THIS WORKS
         textBox.background=true;
	 textBox.backgroundColor = "#00ff00";

Thanks!

Hi.

I don't think CreateJS - or even canvas - implements a background property or method for text fields.

You'll have to do it manually by creating in author or run time a rectangle in the background that has the same size and position of the target text field instance.

Thanks JC

I ended up just hiding the thing behind which I was wanting to obscure.

Kind regards
