Hi.   You can set its placeholder property as this TextInput component is a regular HTML input text under the hood. Just keep in mind that components are not immediately ready when the code in the first frame of the main timeline runs. So one of the approaches is to listen for the stage's drawend event. Like this: function main() { var inputTF = document.getElementById("yourInstanceName"); inputTF.placeholder = "Something..."; } stage.on("drawend", main, this, true); Regards, JC ... View more

Hi.   Components don't live in the canvas and are not CreateJS objects, so you'll need to use one of the DOM methods to access it first. Like this: this.stop(); this.submitbtn.addEventListener("click", function (event) { var val = document.getElementById("answerbox").value; if (val.toLowerCase().trim() === "correctanswer") { this.gotoAndPlay(72); } else { this.gotoAndPlay(13); } }.bind(this)); Regards, JC ...

Hi. This is how I would approach it: - Create a perfect round blob with spikes using the Polygon tool; - Wrap this raw vector shape in a Graphic symbol container; - Animate this newly created Graphic symbol rotating in a perfect loop; - Wrap this whole timeline animation in another Graphic symbol; - Squeeze this second container by reducing the scale on the Y axis; - Add the same amount of frames used for the rotation animation to the timeline containing the second symbol; - Play it.   Here is a sample: https://bit.ly/477I28b   Just please note that I used perfect triangles but you can draw them rounded/smooth as required.   My idead here is just to demonstrate the principle.   Regards, JC ...
