Restrict Input
I need it so that only numbers can be typed into the input text field
I've been trying this for a while now, I have already tried textfield.restrict(0-9); and textfield.restrict = "0-9"; and other such codes, but with no positive results
I do already have a button that checks if the value in the text field is between certain values and if there not it returns an error statement, I was wandering if i could put an if statement there to check if there are only numbers in the field
Help would be much appreciated

Restrict Text Input
I have a chatroom which uses htmlText.text to show the messages in a text area, but I don't want people entering html codes. So I decided to restrict the usage of the characters "< > { }". I set ^<>{} in the "restrict" field of the component inspector and it works fine. I'm just wondering if theres something I'm overlooking or if theres a better way. The thing I'm worried the most about is that I know theres a weird round-about way to insert characters with number codes or something and I want it fool-proof. My php script that the text input submits to will validate the info anyway, but I'd like it checked at both sides.
I believe the answer is as simple as using htmlentities for the message coming from flash to PHP, but I wanted to double-check. Maybe theres other security issues I should protect against?

Restrict An Input Text Field
Hey,
I would like to know how I can restrict an input text field to only contain Number and no letters or punctuation.
Also can you set a dynamic text field to display as Bold only when a certain value provides true?
Thanks again.

Restrict The Amount Of Text In Input Box
Need to figure out how to restrict the amount of text in input box....
I'm working on a training CDRom where there are interactive pages for people to keep notes and do the tasks. I need to make sure that the boxes with the text input do not exceed their own size, ie not shift text up when there is no more space - if that makes sense....
I've tried counting the characters (to add the number into the 'MaxCaracters') via text mock up but it just doesn't quite seem to work perfectly, depending on text typed in, it works with certain bits of text and doesn't with other bits.... do to with the width of characters, I guess...
Does anyone know of anything that would help me here? Any thought? Tips? Or tricks?

How To Restrict Input Text Based On Position?
Input text fields have a maxlength.
Input text fields have a restrict option so it's possible to block certain characters.
I would like to restrict input based on the caret's position in the textfield. Is this possible?
I'm able to retrieve the caret's position in the onChanged handler.
Can I clear the buffer in the onKeyDown?
Btw, the object I'm trying to put together is a textarea with one or more input fields inside. So, it's static text, followed by input text, followed by static text, etc.
My first try came down to putting textfields on top of each other, set autosize to true, and expand the static part along with the input part with an onchanged handler. Too bad this only works for one line of text. With more lines, wrapping becomes an issue.
Suggestions are most welcome.
---
Just thought of something. Is the textfield listening to the Key object? If so, can I detach it, and create my own handler especially for my textfield?

How To Restrict Characters In Input Text Field
Hi,
I have an Input Text field and I want it in such a way that user should not enter any character(any thing including all possible characters) in to that text field.
For that I use, flash's rectrict feature. The snippet of the code is:
Code:
myText.restrict = "";
whereas myText is Var name of the input text field.
In flash's help they have written that "If the value of the restrict property is an empty string, you cannot enter any character".
But when I publish the file, I discovered that I am able to enter anything inside text field. Am I wrong somewhere?
Any expert help in this regard?
Thanks,
Guy Logical

Urgent: Restrict 'Enter Key' In Input Field
hi there,
can anyone point me out how to restrict the 'enter Key' (both main and on numpad) in an input field?
i.e. the user may NOT use the enter key and i'm having a multiline text input.
after some time i finally found the unicode "carriage return" escape but that does'tn work. Avoiding the spacebar however does work :s
fld.restrict = "^u000Du0020"

No Restrict To Madness (restrict Property)
restrict (TextField.restrict property) is not reliable!
Using it in a very important Flash Form is actually driving me mad as users, despite this applied property, are able to enter ";" or "?" or ":" in Email Textfield on which the restrict property specifies: _root.mcEmail.restrict = "-_.@a-z0-9^A-Z";
What should be done to make this property work for good?

RESTRICT The
I was looking for some code to restrict the area for the "follow" action.
I got a nice elastic follow code, but I need to restrict this to some square area. If the mouse is out of this area then go back to the center. This is the actual code:
I frame:
physics0 = 0.25;
physics1 = 0.5;
II frame:
nothing...........
III frame:
xspeed = ((_root._xmouse-_x)*physics0)+(xspeed*physics1);
yspeed = ((_root._ymouse-_y)*physics0)+(yspeed*physics1);
// add the speed to the current position of the object
_x += xspeed;
_y += yspeed;
gotoAndPlay(2);

Restrict Area.
Hi all,
This is a very nice question which I just came across. We all know how to simply restrict the draggable area on the stage with the help of a bounding box.
My question is how do we restict the area in a such a way that the user should be able to drag it only on that line. For example, we have a draggable area like a right angle, |_ and the object should be able to be dragged on the right angle lines only. The user should not be able to drag anywhere else.
If this is confusing, plz refer to the fla file which I am attaching.
Plz do help.

Restrict Problem...
When using the restrict command on a textfield forexample if I only want to be able to write the lower case "s" into a textfield I would type:
textfield.restrict = "s";
However when the caps lock key is active (Upper Case) and I press "s" a small "s" is allowed to appear in the textfield even though the caps lock is active. It seems that flash doesn't restrict the caps lock key.
Is there a way to restrict the caps lock key ? If not how can I detect if the Caps Lock is active or not. Forexample when the user opens the swf file how can I know if the Caps Lock is active or not ?
Thank you.

I have

so a duplicated appears at a random x,y coordinate using the whole width and height of stage...
Is there a way to restrict the possible locations to
min x = 100, max x = 500
min y = 100, max y = 500
instead of the whole stage?

TextInput.restrict -- A Better Way?
I have a text input interaction where I want to restrict the allowable characters AND play a sound when disallowed characters are entered.
Right now I have one messy IF condition to test for the allowable characters. I've been looking at ways to use the new RegExp with this, but it does not work when tested against textInput.restrict. I know there is an issue with type, but not sure how to deal with it.
Anyway, here's what I have so far:
Code:
import fl.controls.TextInput;
var inputText:TextInput= new TextInput();
inputText.move(100,100);
inputText.restrict="0-9;.,";//numbers, comma and period allowed
addChild(inputText);
var allowedText:RegExp = /(d|,|.)/;//numbers, comma and period allowed
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyHandler, true);
function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
//the trace below always return true, even if the key is a letter
//trace(allowedText.test(String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode)));
if ((event.keyCode > 47)&&(event.keyCode<58)||(event.keyCode==188)|| event.keyCode==190)) {
trace((event.keyCode));
} else {
trace("disallowed key");
}
}

How Can I Restrict The Movement Of My Movieclip?
Hi there,
I've coupled a movieclip to the movements a the mouse with the following actionscript:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.line._x = _root._xmouse;
_root.line._y = _root._ymouse;
}
So far so good, but I can't figure out how to restrict the movement within certain boundaries of the stage (this in order to prevent the movieclip to be shown only half on screen). Do I have to use hitTest, getBounds, or some other technique (and HOW do I have to use this?).
Thanks in advance!

TextField.restrict Issue
OK, This is what I'm doing:
I have a variable, which could be a word or a sentence, and textfield created with createTextField.
Say, for example, "The dog sleeps." My problem is with capital letters vs lower case letters.
What I want to do, is to restrict the input to only one letter at a time in the variable. For example, first I want to restrict it to only the capital "T", then only the "h", then "e", and so on.
I basically have this working, but for some reason, theTextField.restrict actionscript acts goofy. When it is restricted to capital "T", for example, and I type "t" in lowercase, it enters it in as capital, ignoring the need for the shift key. I want it so that the shift key is required to enter the capital letter.
The sentence must remain a modifiable variable, so I don't want to hardcode letters. Like I said, I have it working except for this.
Below is a simple script to help explain my point:
createTextField("mytext", 1, 10, 10, 530, 100);
Selection.setFocus("mytext");
mytext.variable = "input";
mytext.background = true;
mytext.type = "input";
mytext.restrict = "A";
mytext.multiline = true;
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.size = 35;
myformat.font = "Arial";
mytext.setNewTextFormat(myformat);
Notice it's restricted to a capital "A", but if you press a lowercase "a", it automatically converts it to uppercase, with the need for the shift key. It has the same issue with the lowercase to uppercase. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
