When 5.5 came out as a DP 1, RunRev made available for download a stack called "field_features.livecode" that had individual cards that demonstrated the new features of the text field. Although all of the code runs on 'openCard', it could just as easily run on 'preOpenCard' to hide it from the user before the card is drawn (although LC is fast enough that in this case 'openCard' was fine to show what was going on).

Not sure if that's still available for download, but if not, maybe RunRev could post it on RevOnline or on their site...
