I'm trying to accomplish something similar to what is required at this link-

Text in HTML Field to disappear when clicked?

This is for Flash using actionscript 3, originally I just had the textboxes with default text to indentify them but having the placeholder would be a nice addition.

I thought of possibly just having the text added in by default, and on focus disappearing, but if anyone knows of a simpler solution I'd be grateful.

Actually there is no more straight forward / automated solution.

Alternatively, you could keep the placeholder text until the user actually typed something, using TextField TextInput event , and only move the cursor a the beginning of the text on focus using 

TextField.setSelection(0,0);
