That will make your cursor NOT turn into a text editing cursor as it hovers over text fields, assuming your text field instance name is myText.
@legorlan You are centering your newly made missiles on the _x and _y position of the instance created of the ship class, most likely, which is just the player ship. You have to create the bullets at the coordinates of the "wingman". I suggest making a wingman class and then attaching more bullets to the _x and _y coordinates from in there.
This is for people interested in learning how to develop games in AS3, who have little to no previous knowledge of how to do so. This isn't a game, and the target audience is aspiring flash developers.
