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);
