Add a behaviour like this to your text or field sprite
------------
property myMember
on beginSprite me
myMember = sprite(me.spriteNum).member
myMember.editable = 1
myMember.text = EMPTY
end
on keyDown me
keyEntered = the key
if (keyEntered = RETURN) or (keyEntered = ENTER) then
-- accept the input
else if myMember.text.length >= 6 then
-- too many characters
alert ("Comment dit-on ca en... um, err... parlez-vous Strayn?")
else
-- let the field handle the key
pass
end if
end
