FLASH: Problem with editable text fields

[Simone Chacham]

I'm following step by step the tutorial included in the Flash 4 manual.

In the section "use editable text fields", there are many instructions

to do a editable text field, such as follow:


(...)

2 Create a new layer in the Timeline and name it �Data Entry.�

3 Select the first frame in the Data Entry layer in the Timeline.

4 With the first frame in the Data Entry layer selected, click the text

tool and the

Text Field modifier.

5 Draw editable text fields for Name, Email, and Comment.

6 Using the arrow tool, select the Name text field and choose

Modify > Text Field to open the Text Field Properties dialog box.

7 Enter �Name� in the Variable box and click OK.

(...)


The problem is that after I draw the editable text field, I can't access

the option Modify > Text Field because is not available. And if I don't

write anything inside the field, it disappears when I change the tool.


There's anybody who did succed in this "field"?
