You can use statusStyleName and set the color to any color we want

Or you may be able to call the setColor() method on the IUITextField instance, as seen in the following snippet:

private function init():void {
    var tf:IUITextField = panel.mx_internal::getStatusTextField();
    tf.setColor(0xFF0000);
    tf.selectable = true;
    tf.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, textField_link);
    tf.htmlText = "status with ">link";
}

@jason, Great question. I don't think I have any specific examples for that, but this may help get you started: "Applying a cascading style sheet to a TextArea control in Flex". Basically just create a StyleSheet object then create a selector for the a tag and set the color to to #FFFFFF/white. Peter

How can you change the color of the link? I have a dark background and need the link white?
