Extending the Texfield class

[creatordesign]

I currently working on a userinterface that dosen't have have clicking. It's becoming quite the challenge...

Anyways, I don't know if what I'm asking is possible, but is there a way to extend the Texfield class to have a onRollOver event?

something like this perhaps -

black = new TextFormat();  
black.size = 12;  black.color = 0x000000; black.align = "center";
white = new TextFormat();  
white.size = 12;  white.color = 0xFFFFFF;  white.align = "center";

TextField.prototype.hitTest = hitTest;

this.createTextField("field1",1,100,100,100,20);
field1.selectable = false;
field1.border = true;  field1.borderColor = 0xFF0000;
field1.background = true;  field1.backgroundColor = 0xCCCCCC;


this.onMouseMove = function(){
if(field1.hitTest(_level0._xmouse, _level0._ymouse)){
field1.text = "that's nice"; field1.setTextFormat(white);
field1.backgroundColor = 0x000000;  field1.borderColor = 0x00FF00;
} else {
field1.text = "hit me";  field1.setTextFormat(black);
field1.backgroundColor = 0xCCCCCC;  field1.borderColor = 0xFF0000; 
}
};

this.onMouseDown = function(){
if(field1.hitTest(_level0._xmouse, _level0._ymouse)){
field1.text = "ouch";
field1.setTextFormat(white);
field1.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;
}
};
