TextField.type
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_txt.type:String
Description
Property; Specifies the type of text field. There are two values: "dynamic", which specifies a
dynamic text field that cannot be edited by the user, and
"input", which specifies an input
text field.
Example
The following example creates two text fields: username_txt and password_txt. Text is entered
into both text fields; however,
password_txt has the password property set to true. Therefore,
the characters display as asterisks instead of as characters in the
password_txt field.
this.createTextField("username_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,
22);
username_txt.border = true;
username_txt.type = "input";
username_txt.maxChars = 16;
username_txt.text = "hello";
this.createTextField("password_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 40, 100,
22);
password_txt.border = true;
password_txt.type = "input";
password_txt.maxChars = 16;
password_txt.password = true;
password_txt.text = "world";
