NAME
       SWF::TextField - SWF TextField class

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]);
	   Creates a TextField object whose behaviour is dictated by "flags" (see also SWF::Constants):

	     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
	     SWFTEXTFIELD_ALIGN_JUSTIFY: Justify text
	     SWFTEXTFIELD_HTML: 	 Add HTML markup string
	     SWFTEXTFIELD_HASLENGTH:
	     SWFTEXTFIELD_USEFONT:	 Want to embed font
	     SWFTEXTFIELD_AUTOSIZE:
