Hi, hope this is be fairly simple…

I have an input text box that I want to contain text something like:

“click here to type a message”

then, when someone clicks in it (during the movie) the text dissappears, and you just have a cursor (to begin typing)

Can I do this / how do I do this?

many thanks for your time
