Question

how to create a simple textfield

I would like to create a textfield with TLF (as a more versatile replacement for flash.text.Textfield).

Unfortunately, I am not sure how to get started.  Does this already exist?  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Hopefully this will be useful to more people than just me.  Thanks.

Are you looking for mx.core.FTETextField?

That is a helpful pointer, thank you.

I was hoping to find something without the flex framework, but that is a useful component for understanding how such a widget might be implemented.

Flash CS5 will also introduce a new TLF based TextField, called TLFTextField, see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/fl/text/TLFTextField.html.
