Hi World,

is there any way to put a default value on a TextInput below for user help

var textField : TextInput = new TextInput();

any example plz

There is no TextInput type, unless you make it yourself (which I have done in the past). You need to use TextField:
var txtF : TextField = new TextField();
txtF.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
txtF.text = "default text";
addChild(txtF);

Tom is right, and also make sure you have imported in the TextField Class :


import flash.text.TextField;
..or..
import flash.text.*;


We need to see your code to help out more, is this a Flex project?
