I've built a FormattedTextInput component (for both Flash and Flex) that allows you to specify a format mask, and it will restrict the user's input so that it matches the mask. Valid format 'input placeholder' characters: # - any digit (0-9) a - lowercase letter A - uppercase letter Z - any letter * - any letter or digit Example usage: my_ti.format = (###) ### - ; Then, to get the value of out it, use: my_ti.value - that will return just the input that matches the input placeholders, ie in the scernario about, .value will just be 10 digits (with formatting removed). If you set the .text property of the component, it will automatically format it as well: my_ti.text = 555999; // will display according to the format If you want this as a Flex component, you'll have to wait until Flex by Example ships. The Flash component was part of my talk on Extending Components at Flash in the Can in april. You can also either find my Flash source and tweak it to work with Flex, or hope someone else builds it for you.. but these are the types of high-quality examples and useful code snippets that you'll see in Flex by Example. ;-) -d Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Input formatting
I will have to admit, it's the closest I've seen, but when I went to the link, it reversed the numbers in the area code.

RE: [flexcoders] Input formatting
This works really well for a formatted a display, but not for input, the input is in/out from a web service is there something I can do about binding the data and using the format() function you have to check the data before sending/displaying the data?
