"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";
