Hi Irv,
It seems to me that all the fuss with finding the masking font takes you
more time then writing the actual code would :)
This is totally untested and oversimplified e-mail lingo, but I'm sure you
can adapt it to your needs (obviously, you should get rid of hardcoding the
"password").
I hope this helps.
property pqPassword
property pmMem
on beginSprite me
pqPassword= ""
pmMem = sprite(me.spriteNum).member
end
on keyDown me
if "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" contains the key then
put the key after pqPassword
put "*" after pmMem.text
else if the key = "RETURN" then
me.checkPassword()
end if
end
on checkPassword me
if pqPassword = "password" then
alert ("correct!")
else
alert ("wrong!")
end if
end
