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.

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";
