Hi Everybody, I have a doubt in flash AS3, my requirement is how to place a watermark in Flash Input text field so that if any user clicks on the input text field then the text which was already appearing should not be visible . I hope that i will get a better answers from anyone of you Thanks --Jennifer.

From stackoverflow

• The term you're actually looking for is called cuebanner, not watermark. I'm not familiar with Flash, so I can't tell you how to do it. But if you Google cuebanner, you may get better information than when googling for watermark.

• yes you can do that like this create a text file enter the text addEventListener that listen to the CLICK of the user and in the function clear the content of the text Field

  txt = new TextField();
  txt.text = "clikc me";
  txt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onTxtClick);
  this.addChild(txt);
  
  // the Listen function
  private  function onTxtClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
  {
       txt.text = "";
  }

  Shvilam : thanks it nice but a few point will be even nicer

• To improve slightly what Shvilam wrote:

  public static const PROMPT:String = "Type your text here...";
  public static const PROMPT_COLOR:Number = 0x999999;
  
  txt = new TextField();
  txt.text = PROMPT;
  txt.textColor = PROMPT_COLOR;
  txt.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, focusHandler);
  txt.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, focusHandler);
  this.addChild(txt);
  
  // the Listen function
  private  function focusHandler(event:FocusEvent):void
  {
       switch (event.type) {
       case FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN:
           if (txt.text == PROMPT) {
              txt.text = "";
              txt.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
           }
           break;
       case FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT:
           if (txt.text == "") {
               txt.text = PROMPT;
               txt.textColor = PROMPT_COLOR;
           }
           break;
  }
