textHeight (TextField.textHeight property)

type (TextField.type property)

public type : String

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.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0

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";
