use '#' insted '*' in password field

[laxmi19885]

Is it possible to change '*' into '#' or some other charactor in password field (input text)?

Hey

Here's something I made up...you should be able to go from there. There may be a simpler way or a built in function, but I just did it this way! If you have specific questions about my code, let me know.

To get it to work for you simply delete the passfieldcontent textbox and remove the ".text" in the actionscript that comes with the passfieldcontent variable. So whenever a user presses a key in the password box, it'll replace in with "#" and store the actual key in the passfield content. I just very quickly knocked this up...so you might be able to trim it down.. Hope it helps though.

but its not working in Flash MX.

Ah that's because I'm using MX2004. Is the file not opening in MX, or is it that it's just the actionscript not working? If it's the actionscript, then you may have to adapt it slightly.
