That would be an input box. There’s a tutorial about that on this very site, Ibanez…\r\rpom 0]

You could try and go round it : put an input box, with transparent font. Under it, a dynamic textbox diplaying \* whenever a key has been pressed. See what I mean ??\rI don’t know if this works, I’ve never tried it.\r\rpom 0] \r\rPS : Hey, I have an example \<a href=http://membres.lycos.fr/ilyaslamasse/phpforflash/Php\_Flash/\>here\</a\> !! I can’t understand how it works…
