OT: Text field

My 2 questions about the textfield component from set 5 just got buried
under 6 hrs of posts on the coders list, I'm hoping for a little
success on this one.

(1) Margins: Does anyone know how to increase the margins on the text
field component?  I find the text lines up right against the border
making it unpleasant to read a full page layout.

(2) I use the code below to load an external text file, this file has
html in it and it gets loaded successfully as well as displaying the
html with images properly.  It's all good.  The problem is when I
resize the stage it reverts to just plain ascii text which is a real
show stopper in my app.

The work around is to reload the external text file during each resize
but this seems to be overkill as the user already has the data, so why
should we have to reload it etc.

The code:

function showDescription() {
  loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
  loadVarsText.load("data/htmlpages/gqsetup.txt");
  // assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
  loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
      trace("done loading description text");
      // _root.previewtext.text = this.text;
      _root.helptext.html = true;
      _root.helptext.htmlText = this.text;
    } else {
      trace("not loaded");
    }
  };
}
showDescription();

stageListener = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = function() {
  Stage.align = "left";
    _root.helptext.setSize(Stage.width, Stage.height);
};
Stage.addListener(stageListener);


Sincerely,
Simon
