"Right to left" input text

[Malone]

hi friends..

in an input textfielt i try to reverse writing directions for numbers.

i use only numbers.. i need just a simple code to reverse writing directions as right to left.

I found a code but it is not working.. it is like this;

String.prototype.reverseSpecial = function() {
// ------ Parse text into numeric & string chunks
var chunks = [];
var mode = "";
var lenMax = this.length;
for (var len = 0; len<lenMax; len++) {
if (this.charAt(len)+1 && this.charAt(len) != " ") {
// This character is numeric
if (mode != "num") {
mode = "num";
chunks[chunks.length] = this.charAt(len);
// Start new numeric chunk
} else {
chunks[chunks.length-1] += this.charAt(len);
// Add to current numeric chunk
}
} else {
if (mode != "str") {
mode = "str";
chunks[chunks.length] = this.charAt(len);// Start new text chunk
} else {
chunks[chunks.length-1] += this.charAt(len);// Add to existing text chunk
}
}
}
// ------ Create output : reverse all non-numeric chunks
var outString;
for (var arr in chunks) {
if (String(Number(chunks[arr])) != "NaN") {
} else {
chunks[arr] = chunks[arr].reverseString();
}
outString += chunks[arr];
}
return outString;
};
String.prototype.reverseString = function() {
var out;
var len = this.length;
while (len--) {
out += this.charAt(len);
}
return out;
};

trace("This is a test sentence 1234 this is a test sentence 3.141592".reverseSpecial());
// 3.141592 ecnetnes tset a si siht 1234 ecnetnes tset a si sihT


any idea ????

if you use a Flash 8 TextInput component you can use its
changed event to swap the order on text input.

/*
TextInput component on Stage - instance name: inp
*/

var inp:mx.controls.TextInput;
inp.restrict = "0-9";
temp = new Array();

var ti:Object = new Object();
ti.change = function(obj:Object) {
arr = new Array();
len = inp.text.length;
temp.push(inp.text.charAt(len-1));
for(var n=temp.length-1; n>=0; n--) arr += temp[n];
inp.text = arr;

trace("temp = "+temp);
trace("text = "+inp.text);
};

inp.addEventListener("change", ti);
