Answer 1

RC told you to do something like this.

var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.text = "Super Long Message Goes Here ";
tf.textColor = 0xFF0000; // <----------------------------------
tf.x = tf.y = 300;
addChild(tf);
var t:Timer = new Timer(200);
t.addEventListener(
    TimerEvent.TIMER,
    function(ev:TimerEvent): void
    {
        tf.text = tf.text.substr(1) + tf.text.charAt(0);
    }
);
t.start();

or this:

var tf:MarqueeTextField = new MarqueeTextField();
tf.text = "Super Long Message Goes Here ";
tf.textColor = 0xFF0000; // <------------------------
tf.x = tf.y = 300;
tf.marquee(200);
addChild(tf);

Since it extends the Textfield class, you should be able to change the properties like textColor.
