Hello All,

I am new at flash and am trying to create a input text box message that goes away when the user types.

Here is an example of what I want to do:  
[http://playcloths.com/front/index.php](http://playcloths.com/front/index.php)

On the bottom right hand corner when you click on the input box, the message goes away. Is it possible to do this in flash?

Thank you so much.
