I’d call preventDefault() on the textInput event.

How would I achieve the task of restricting user input based on the current contents of the TextInput? I am aware of the restrictChars property but that doesn't help since it applies a blanket rule as to which characters are allowed/not allowed. An example here would be: allow the user to input a number with no more than a precision of 2. In this case, as soon as the user enters 12.34 any more keystrokes in the TextInput should become no-ops. I did try adding event listeners to the KeyboardEvent.UP_KEY and KeyboardEvent.DOWN_KEY but it seems that you can't stop the propagation or prevent the default of keyboard events. Any suggestions here would be very much appreciated. TIA, sasuke -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe System, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
