how to make a text field a password field, where characters are asterisks.

thanks,

The only built-in way to get password entry is using the "answer password" command. However if you want to allow people to enter passwords into a field, then you need to script the data entry yourself. The easiest way is to let them enter the password as plain text and then in a closeField handler, store the actual password somewhere secure, perhaps in a custom property, then replace all the letters with asterisks. Alternatively, you can trap the rawKeyDown or keyDown messages and append any typed characters to the stored password, while adding an asterisk to the field.

Cheers,
Sarah
