Text to be displayed if/when the actual text property is an empty string.
Prompt text appears when the text control is first created.
Prompt text disappears when the control gets focus or when the control’s
text property is a non-empty string.
Prompt text reappears when the control loses focus, but only if no text was entered
(if the value of the text field is the empty string).
For text controls, if the user enters text, but later deletes it, the prompt text reappears when the control loses focus. You can also cause the prompt text to reappear programmatically by setting the text control’s text property to the empty string.
You can change the style of the prompt text with CSS.
If the control has prompt text and is not disabled, the style is defined by the
normalWithPrompt pseudo selector.
If the control is disabled, then the styles defined by the disabledWithPrompt
pseudo selector are used.
The following example CSS changes the color of the prompt text in controls that sub-class SkinnableTextBase (this includes the Spark TextInput and TextArea controls):

restrict:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Indicates the set of characters that a user can enter into the text field. If the value of the
restrict property is null, you can enter any character. If the value of
the restrict property is an empty string, you cannot enter any character. If the value
of the restrict property is a string of characters, you can enter only characters in
the string into the text field. The string is scanned from left to right. You can specify a range by
using the hyphen (-) character. Only user interaction is restricted; a script can put any text into the
text field. This property does not synchronize with the Embed font options
in the Property inspector.
If the string begins with a caret (^) character, all characters are initially accepted and succeeding characters in the string are excluded from the set of accepted characters. If the string does not begin with a caret (^) character, no characters are initially accepted and succeeding characters in the string are included in the set of accepted characters.
The following example allows only uppercase characters, spaces, and numbers to be entered into a text field:
my_txt.restrict = "A-Z 0-9";
The following example includes all characters, but excludes lowercase letters:
my_txt.restrict = "^a-z";
You can use a backslash to enter a ^ or - verbatim. The accepted backslash sequences are \-, \^ or \\. The backslash must be an actual character in the string, so when specified in ActionScript, a double backslash must be used. For example, the following code includes only the dash (-) and caret (^):
my_txt.restrict = "\\-\\^";
The ^ can be used anywhere in the string to toggle between including characters and excluding characters. The following code includes only uppercase letters, but excludes the uppercase letter Q:
my_txt.restrict = "A-Z^Q";
You can use the \u escape sequence to construct restrict strings.
The following code includes only the characters from ASCII 32 (space) to ASCII 126 (tilde).
my_txt.restrict = "\u0020-\u007E";
The default value is null.
