i don't know why it would be giving this alert multiple times, unless you're
constantly calling this method in a repeat loop or an exitFrame. If you are,
you might want to stray from that practice, imo. Base the check on another
event, such as a mouse click on a button, etc. If you're just trying to
limit the number of characters in a field, set the field to "Limit to field
size" in the inspector. This may also do what you need.
--//untested lingo, but the general idea
on checkChar
if member("Body").text.length > 150 then
strTemp = chars(member("Body").text, 1, 150)
member("Body").text = strTemp
end if
end
--//
