    name_txt._text.border = true;
    // how to set border size
    name_txt._text.background=true ;
    name_txt._text.backgroundColor = 0xB35604;
    name_txt._text.borderColor = 0xFF0000;
    name_txt._text.textColor = 0xCCCCCC;
    // how to set hint text 
    // ex : name_txt.hintext = "Enter your name";
}
onFrame (1) {
    
  this.name_txt.onChanged = function(textfield_txt:TextField) {
   // i cant change textColor to black 
    stop();
};
}

Hi, you can set the stroke size & give the input text its empty field data.

At the bottom of the onFrame(2) scripting section you can use the round rectangles to create a container, user_mc & pw_mc

var form_data:Array=new Array("Enter your username", "Enter your password")

var container=createRectangle(0,0,Stage.width/1.5,Stage.height/2,0xFFFFFF,0xCCCCCC,"20%",1,undefined,false,"password=false",0x999999,0x000000);//x,y,width,height,color,line color,rectangle options,stroke size,form data, pw text, form text color, input text color.
var user_mc=createRectangle(0,0,200,30,0xFFFFFF,0xCCCCCC,"80%",0.1,form_data[0],"password=false",0x999999,0x000000);//x,y,width,height,color,line color,rectangle options,stroke size,form data, pw text, form text color, input text color.
var pw_mc=createRectangle(0,0,200,30,0xFFFFFF,0xCCCCCC,"80%",0.1,form_data[1],"password=true",0x999999,0x000000);//x,y,width,height,color,line color,rectangle options,stroke size,form data, pw text, form text color, input text color.

container._x=Stage.width/2-container._width/2//Center the container to the stages x coordinates.
container._y=Stage.height/2-container._height/2//Center the container to stages y coordinates.

user_mc._x=container._x+container._width/2-user_mc._width/2//Center the username text field to the stages x coordinates.
pw_mc._x=container._x+container._width/2-user_mc._width/2//Center the username text field to the containers y coordinates.

user_mc._y=container._y+container._height/2-user_mc._height/2-container._height/6//Center the username text field to the stages x coordinates.
pw_mc._y=container._y+container._height/2-pw_mc._height/2+container._height/6//Center the username text field to the containers y coordinates. 

Inside of the onFrame(2) scripting section at function createRectangle() I basically just added form_fill, which will show you text when the field is empty, you can modify form_color which is the text form color, & the color of the text thats being written:

function createRectangle(x,y,w,h,color,line_color,rectangle_options,stroke_size,form_fill,pww,form_color,input_color) {
x+=(stroke_size/2)
w-=(stroke_size)
y+=(stroke_size/2)
h-=(stroke_size)
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc"+rect,this.getNextHighestDepth());
rectangle_options=int(rectangle_options.split("%")[0])
if(rectangle_options>100){
rectangle_options=100
}
var percent=rectangle_options
if(percent<1){
percent=0.1
}
if(w>h){
rectangle_options=(((h/100)*percent)/2)
}else{
rectangle_options=(((w/100)*percent)/2)
}

swish font progress:
For the font project I was able to complete 3 tables today, the table called 'post' gave me the name of each character in the .ttf.

I'm not an expert like you so I try to use tools instead of programming
I've added the text
And I just want to add a hint to it
have you any idea to add a hint to text tool
thanks my friend

Hi, no problem, here is a simple version:

onFrame(2){
stop()


function setStyle(a,b,c){
a._text.border = true;//Set border to true for the text field to fill out.
a._text.background=true ;//Set background = true.
a._text.backgroundColor = 0xB35604;//Set the background color to orange.
a._text.borderColor = 0xFF0000;//Set the border color to orange.
a._text.textColor = 0xCCCCCC;//Set the text color to black.
a._text.password=c//c = true or false for password mode.
a.text=""//Empty the textfield if it has data.
b._x=a._x//Reposition the overlay text.
b._y=a._y
}

setStyle(_root.main.login.username_txt,_root.main.login.username_overlay,false)//Set style for username_txt to fill, the overlay with the form data, & password mode = true or false.
setStyle(_root.main.login.password_txt,_root.main.login.password_overlay,true);//Set style for username_txt to fill, the overlay with the form data, & password mode = true or false.






var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {//When the key is released, update visibility of the form fill text.
if(_root.main.login.username_txt.text.length!=0){//If the username text field is not empty, set the form fill to invisible.
_root.main.login.username_overlay._visible=false//Set the form fill to invisible.
}else if(_root.main.login.username_txt.text.length==0){
_root.main.login.username_overlay._visible=true//Set form fill to visible if the textfield is empty.
}
if(_root.main.login.password_txt.text.length!=0){//Repeat the same process for the password textfield.
_root.main.login.password_overlay._visible=false
}else if(_root.main.login.password_txt.text.length==0){
_root.main.login.password_overlay._visible=true
}

};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

}
