About text in Flash Lite
Flash Lite supports three types of text fields: static, dynamic, and input. A static text field has
content that doesn’t change during playback. For example, you might use static text fields to
display page titles or labels. For more information about creating a static text field, see
“Text
field example application (Flash Professional Only)” on page 42 .
Dynamic text fields let you control the content at runtime. You can associate an ActionScript
variable name with a dynamic text field that you can refer to in code. For example, if you are
making a calculator in Flash Lite, you would use a dynamic text field to show calculation
results. For more information about using dynamic text fields, see
“Assigning a variable name
to a text field” on page 32 .
An input text field is like a dynamic text field, except that a user can interact with an input
text field to open the device’s generic input dialog box to provide text input. For more
information about using input text fields, see
“Using input text fields” on page 34 .
