A quick way to do it I can think of off the top of my head is making a copy of the user's input, strip the thousands separator, cast to Number and pass the result to some formatNumber function (like the one in the ActionScript CookBook lib). Then, just compare that with the original input; if they're equal, the input should be ok.
