  <para>
   <function>swftextfield</function> creates a new text field object. 
   Text Fields are less flexible than <function>swftext</function> objects- 
   they can't be rotated, scaled non-proportionally, or skewed, but they can
   be used as form entries, and they can use browser-defined fonts.
  </para>
  <para>
   The optional flags change the text field's behavior. It has the following
   possibles values : 
   <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_DRAWBOX draws the outline of the textfield
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_HASLENGTH <!-- TODO: what does this constant mean? -->
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_HTML allows text markup using HTML-tags
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_MULTILINE allows multiple lines
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT indicates that the field shouldn't be user-editable
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_NOSELECT makes the field non-selectable 
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD obscures the data entry
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      SWFTEXTFIELD_WORDWRAP allows text to wrap
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
   </itemizedlist>
   Flags are combined with the bitwise 
   <link linkend="language.operators.bitwise">OR</link> operation. For example, 
   <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$t = newSWFTextField(SWFTEXTFIELD_PASSWORD | SWFTEXTFIELD_NOEDIT); 
?>
]]>
   </programlisting>
    creates a totally useless non-editable password field. 
  </para>
  <simpara>
   SWFTextField has the following methods : <function>swftextfield->setfont</function>,
