Everytime I try to modify my restrict characters I run into problems, so I don't think I'm understanding it well. My understanding was that I need to use a \ character before another character to escape it in AS3. However, since I'm using an AS3 variable in a bind expression for mxml, perhaps this changes the way I need to escape characters. Here's my current code: My mxml code has: restrict=" { AppController.RESTRICT_CHARS } " and the AppController singleton has: public static const RESTRICT_CHARS:String= "\&\"0-9 a-zA-Z'~!@#$%*()\\-_+=[]\\|;:<>./?{}^," ; This code has a problem when I run it where I cannot enter a comma character. Also, I found my trial an error that I needed two \\ to escape the minus sign (not sure why... do I need two \\ when I escape other characters?). Also, I found that I needed to place the \& at the start of the string (if in the middle it has no effect). I must be doing something wrong. Any help much appreciated.
