simple password problem

[dodge]

hi,

i am trying to create a member code input.
some of the code should be letters, some numbers. i have managed to detect and test the letter inputs (using the Ord function). i need help to detect if the others are numbers.

can anyone please help before i tear out all of my hair?

My last mesage didn't display properly (it missed some action script - I tried to edit it but it looked OK?? Any problems here?

So I'm reposting

Here is one way.

The following if condition will be true when variable “input” contains a number and false for any other character

If (ord(input)>=ord("0") and ord(input)<=ord("9"))

The following will be false when variable "input" contains a number and true for any other character

If (ord(input)<ord("0") or (ord(input)>ord("9"))

There is an example in Flash’s help of the condition above - but Macromedia’s coding is more complex than required

Hope this helps,

Rich.

For some reason the last if statement won't post correctly

Hopefully this works.

It should read :

If (ord(input)<ord("0") or (ord(input)>"9")

Mr Moderator,

Is there a problem somewhere. I've edited the message above this one and it looks OK in the edit message screen but the post doesn't contain the correct code.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rich.

Grrr...

even the above didn't post correctly and I retyped the offending line.

If (ord(input)&gt;=ord("0") and ord(input)&lt;=ord("9")) ....works fine.
