I am new to Flex but somewhat experienced to javascript. I am used to
adding simple scripts to elements using "this" to define the element.
Apparantly that doesn't work with Flex - which really sucks for me. :(

How can I create a script that is assigned to 20+ elements
(mx:textInput's) and is triggered when a user clicks it (focusIn,
really). I wanted something like:
  if (this.text=='Placeholder text...') {
        this.text='';
        this.setStyle("color", 0x000000);
  }

Any idea how I can do this? It kind of makes me mad that I can't use
such a simple script. I am guessing the Flex version will be 5 times
longer! :(

Thanks for any help! :)
