Well - just spent some time with this. Here's what I came up with.
Sloppy, but it works. This allows standard times (1:00, 12:00,
12:59), but not military time (24:00, 13:59, etc.).
private function validateTime():void {
var setTime:String = new String;
setTime = timeToAdd.text;
if ((setTime.length == 4 && setTime.charAt(1) == ":" && int
(setTime.charAt(0)) >= 1 && int(setTime.charAt(0)) <= 9 && int
(setTime.charAt(2)) <= 5 && int(setTime.charAt(3)) <= 9)
|| (setTime.length == 5 && setTime.charAt(2) == ":" && int
(setTime.charAt(0)) == 1 && int(setTime.charAt(1)) <= 2 && int
(setTime.charAt(3)) <= 5 && int(setTime.charAt(4)) <= 9)) {
Alert.show("Valid Number");
} else {
Alert.show ("Plesae enter a correct time (i.e. 12:00,
9:00, etc.");
}
}
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="Type in a Time:"/>
<mx:TextInput id="timeToAdd" width="100%" text="12:00" />
</mx:HBox>
