SYNOPSIS
use SWF::TextField;
$textfield = new SWF::TextField([$flags]);
DESCRIPTION
Unlike SWF::Text objects, TextFields cannot be rotated, scaled non-proportionally, or skewed. However, TextFields can be used as form
entries and they can use browser-defined fonts.
NOTES :
TextField is implemented into Flash since Flash3.
Most of features for TextFields are available since Flash4.
Simple HTML-tags in TextField are possible since Flash5.
METHODS
new SWF::TextField([$flags]);

SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT: Non-editable Textfiled
SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD: Obscure user input with astricts.
SWFTEXTFIELD_DRAWBOX: Draw a border around TextField
SWFTEXTFIELD_MULTILINE: TextFiels may contain multiple lines
SWFTEXTFIELD_WORDWRAP: Warp text when text reaches TextField border
SWFTEXTFIELD_NOSELECT: TextField is not selected when user clicks on it
SWFTEXTFIELD_ALIGN_LEFT: Align text to the left
SWFTEXTFIELD_ALIGN_RIGHT: Align text to the right
SWFTEXTFIELD_ALIGN_CENTER: Align text to the center
