<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">I'm building a login page, and I'm having trouble getting the Text Entry fields to look and work the way I want them too.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">I'm using a regular text entry response, but the text field does not have a white background (page background color is a light blue). I've tried using a script icon with the following:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">pword.pw.background = true;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">pword.pw.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">pword.pw.password = true;</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Where pword is the interaction id, and pw is the rs property of the text entry response. This is in an Event response attached to the same Interaction as the text entry response. I'm using an event of onInit with the icon set to pword, but have also tried setting it to pw. The text entry field is displayed, but the background of the text field is the same color as the stage, and text typed into the field is visible as entered, not masked by the password property. I also want to set the focus to the text entry fields, but setFocus() doesn't seem to have an effect.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">So how would I do this? It seems I would have to use a script icon after the response has loaded, but I don't want the interactions to be perpetual if I can avoid it. Do I use an event response like my above does, or can I somehow have a setup script on the login page that sets the styles before the text entry fields are set up?</FONT></P>
