----- Original Message ---- From: aceoohay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 9:05:13 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Masked Text Input Has anyone developed an input tool for that has the functionality of Masked Textinput (http://weblogs. macromedia. com/flexteam/ archives/ 2006/11/componen t_mas ke.cfm), without the drawbacks? The problems that I seem to have are mainly the way it behaves when using it; 1) When you select the entire text and start typing, it just appends your text to the end. 2) You cannot insert text into the middle of a field. 3) If you delete a character out of the middle of a field it leaves a space. 4) If there is a space in the middle of text and you try to select the entire field to delete it, the selection disappears when you release the mouse. I have posted this info on their blog, with no apparent response. I am about to embark on creating quite a few data entry forms, and would like something that I can use that has masking functionality but behaves similar to what most users expect. Are there alternatives to "Masked TextInput"? Where can I find them? Paul ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
