Disabling a Text Input created through the TEXT TOOL?

Hi There,

I have created a text input area. I havent used the flash text components. I used the TEXT TOOL. In the properties I set it to "input" type so that i could input data. All the features works fine except one. I have to disable the text area when user clicks a button. I dint get any help from the flash help.

The main objective is that the text input area shouldnt take input from the user when the button is ON, once the button is off, the cursor should be at the point where the user left and he can type thru.

Is this possible? I have achieved this functionality using the textarea component of Flash, but not using the input text area created using the TEXT TOOL.

Can anyone help me.

use the type property of textfields to change your textfield to "dynamic "when you want to disable input and assign it to "input" when you want to enable input.
