Just a small one, but it would be nice to have a checkbox to turn a text field into a password box, no more fiddling with doing that manually.

I certainly agree with this request. No matter how hard I try, I can never make my password fields look like they should.

after going through the entire forum i came up with a simple way to handle it but it would bring up two points. My way to handle it was to download a ttf called password and set that field to that password then using an installer i was able wrap the ttf up and install with the application. These are the two points. point 1: it would be nice to be able to embed fonts. point 2: it would be simplest to just have a toggle to make a field a password field

Embedding fonts; cross-platform would really rock!

on keyUp
if the short name of me contains "PassField" then
local i
lock screen
lock messages
repeat with i = 1 to the number of characters in me
if the imagesource of char i of me is not "passwordstar" then // "passwordstar" = image
set the imagesource char i of me to "passwordstar"
end if
end repeat
unlock messages
unlock screen
pass keyUp
else
pass keyUp
end if
end keyUp

There are plenty of ways of doing it with workarounds.
Which is not the point of my original post.

I'm honestly not sure how you could do this without a "blob" font.

I agree that is complicated to have a good password field. Instead of chars should appear aterisks "*", but how to handle backspace,canc,and arrow keys?
It's a lot of lines to write...

It would be very nice to have that as a field property in the engine, but in the meantime this could be handled quite nicely in a behavior script.
Anyone here in a position to take the time to collaborate on one for the community to use?
