Does anyone know how I can make the background for the native text input (native.newTextField) transparent?

I have created a background image with a box around for the input area but the text field generated by Corona is showing a retangular box with shadow.

Thanks a lot!

i want to know it too, hope someone can answer it. also if you know the answer already please post it here =)

This is not possible at the current time :( Sorry.
