What you do is make a regular text box (click and drag with the text tool), and leave it empty. Then go to the text options and from the pull down menu make it input text and set other options from there.
I've never done this myself so I don't know how to get the values return - I imagine you'd assign a variable to the text field in the text options box and then call that using ActionScript??? Then Actionscript can pass that to a server side application or something but I don't know how to do that.
