Hi NightAvatar, About your reqt of showing default suggestive text in the TextInput, there is a opensource flex component library called "Flex Lib", which provides a custom component named "PromptingTextInput" u can check it out in d below link, U need to add SWC of the lib to ur project and use it as u would the TextInput component. There are many other very effective custom components present in that library, check them out.
