placeholderField widget

Current version: 1.0.0 Special thanks to @BerndN for adding the polish by fixing issues with animation and traversalOn.

PlaceholderField is a script widget that provides a text field that includes a placeholder text as user prompty that disappears on entering text and reappears of field is empty. Optionally include a subtle animation when showing/hiding placeholder text. Includes password functionality to obscure text with bullet points and a new control is made visible to show/hide password text.
Script widgets were introduced in LiveCode version 10 DP5 and this requires this version or higher. Screenshot 2023-12-19 at 10 35 33
