Changing the background colors of fillable areas (Examples of Common Scripting Tasks)

I am trying to change the color of the fillable areas of the text field as suggested in this example of the Adobe.

 

So I created one text field, and a button. Later I used the below code in the click option of the button

xfa.resolveNode("subform_1.TextField1.ui.#textEdit.border.fill.color").value = "153,204,255";

I wrote the same code (except the path address of the object), but after clicking the button the fillable areas are not changing. I attached the PDF with question for your reference.

 

Can anyone tell me why color is not changing? 

 

Thank you so much for your time, and suggestions.

There are two things:

 

1. Change your code to this:

form1.subform_1.TextField1.ui.oneOfChild.border.fill.color.value = "153,204,255";

That will avoid a resolveNode.

2. You need to uncheck the "Show border hover color for fields" in Preferences/Forms in Acrobat or Reader, which ever you are using for Preview PDF.

    @koolforms thanks for your answer. But, I am curious why need to change the code, while I am trying to use the official example?

     

    In addition, I can change the Preferences but isn't it bad for user (I mean not a user friendly)?
