just to share, here is what I came up with called from the change event: I am
also
restricting the input to numbers, :, AM, PM
private function processTime( event : Event ) : void {
var cbtLength : int = this.text.length;
// IF FIRST DIGIT IS > 1 ASSUME THEY FORGOT THE LEADING
ZERO
if (cbtLength == 1 && this.text.charAt(0) > '1')
{
this.text = "0" + this.text + ':';
this.setSelection(4,4) ;
}
if (cbtLength == 2) { // 2 CHARACTERS ENTERED, IF
LAST ONE IS : ADD
LEADING ZERO
if (this.text.charAt(1) == ":") {
this.text = "0" + this.text ;
this.setSelection(4,4) ;
} else {
this.text += ":" ; // ELSE ADD COLON
TO END
this.setSelection(4,4) ;
}
}
if (cbtLength == 5) { // AFTER 5 CHARACTERS ENTERED
ADD THE AM
OR PM
if (this.text.substr(0,2) > "06" &&
this.text.substr(0,2) < "12")
this.text += ' AM' else this.text += ' PM' ;
}
}
