Password * input text, TextContainerManager

Question

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can make my input field a password style input field?
I have an AS3 project using TextContainerManager.
TextContainerManager is not the problem in itself, because I can have a custom EditManager or I have reference to the textFlow.
Thanks,
Benjamin
And I don't know why the forum search field does not search for my expression in this particular forum. It does search on the full forum which ends up with messy and completely irrelevant search result.

I have been trying to grab some code from the Flex framework, from RichEditableText.as. Half of the code has been adopted successfully, but the PasteOperation is weird.
There is the handlePasteOperation(op:PasteOperation) function, but I have a very strange problem.
var pastedText:String = extractText(scrap.textFlow);
The compiler is saying, that TextScrap.textFlow is an inaccesible property, but the TextScrap class does have a public textFlow property:
tlf_internal function get textFlow():TextFlow
     return _textFlow;
public function get textFlow():TextFlow
     return _textFlow;
I also tried hacking it using: scrap["textFlow"], but when I try to paste some text, it is saying it is a null property.
Any idea?
