change the setup of the text box.. if u click on the box so its selected then use the properties window u should see a drop down menu in there that lets u change it

[pelegk2]

by using code not manually!

TextField.type in the AS dictionary.

You are in fact changing it from "input" to "dynamic" (no input can longer be made), not to a "static" textfield as such.

is there a way that i can disable the typeing in the text box
by maybe changung one of its properties?

If you switch your textfield from input to dynamic, you will no longer be able to type in text into it.
Use...

your_textfield.type = "dynamic";
