Flash Lite supports single line, multiline, and password input text fields. You specify an input text field's type by using the Line Type pop-up menu in the Property inspector, as the following image shows:

The line type that you specify for an input text field determines the behavior of the device's input text dialog box when a user edits the text field.
For example, when a user edits a single line input text field, the device's input text dialog box displays a single line input text box. The input text box scrolls horizontally if the user enters more characters than can display. The following image shows a device's input text dialog box for a single line input text field:

When a user edits a multiline input text field, the device's input text dialog box expands as necessary to display all the text the user enters, as the following image shows:

When a user edits a password input text field, the device's input text dialog box masks each character that the user enters with an asterisk (after a short delay).
