Is there a sensible way to trap key input into an input field? I'm looking
for an equivalent to something like this in Director:
on keyDown me
if ("abcde" contains the key) then pass
if the key = backspace then alert("can't delete")
if the key = return then go next
end
I know it's possible to restrict key input with TextField.restrict, but I'm
looking for something a bit more flexible than that. What I've been doing up
to now is to listen for an onChanged event, undo the change, then do what I
want to do, which is working but seems like an awful waste of resources!
Now I think about it, perhaps the best solution is to use
TextField.restrict(""), and then enter the text manually at the insertion
point. Hmm.
