Hello, all.

Are there any bugs/issues with flash that would cause a ‘password’ input-field to remain blank, rather than show up in the field as ‘\*\*\*’ ?

i am using: mytext.password = true

The password input-field functions properly even though it remains blank, but I would like to see the asterisks.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
