Hello Friends,

I need a small help. I just strucked up with NumericStepper issue.

I have a NumericStepper and i am setting the Minimum value to 0 & Maximum value to 10. Now my requirement is, suppose if the user entered/typed the value which is greater than Maximum value (ie 10) inside NumericStepper inputbox I want to display that particular value in “RED” color. how to do this.

Your help would be appreciated, i need a solution asap.  
I am attaching the code what i am doing…

package  
{  
import fl.controls.Label;  
import fl.controls.NumericStepper;  
import flash.display.Sprite;  
import flash.events.Event;  
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;  
import flash.text.TextFormat;  
import flash.text.\*;

```
public class NumericStepperExample extends Sprite
{
    private var ns1:NumericStepper;
    private var ns2:NumericStepper;
    private var lbl1:Label;
    private var lbl2:Label;
    private var rowHeight1:Number = 100;
    private var rowHeight2:Number = 50;
    
    public function NumericStepperExample() {        
        setupSteppers();
        setupLabels();
    }

    private function setupLabels():void {
        lbl1 = new Label();
        lbl1.text = "Min Value -- 0 and Max Value -- 10";
        lbl1.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
        lbl1.move(200, rowHeight1);
        addChild(lbl1);            
    }

    private function setupSteppers():void {    
        ns1 = new NumericStepper();
        ns1.stepSize = 1;
        ns1.minimum = 0;
        ns1.maximum = 10;
        ns1.width = 60;
        ns1.move(100, rowHeight1);
        ns1.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeOccurred);
        addChild(ns1);

    }

    private function changeOccurred(e:Event):void {
        var nsTarget:NumericStepper = e.target as NumericStepper;
        
        var redColor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
        redColor.color = 0xff0000;
        
        var blackColor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
        blackColor.color = 0x000000;

        if (nsTarget.value &gt; nsTarget.maximum) {
            nsTarget.setStyle("textFormat", redColor);
        } else {
            nsTarget.setStyle("textFormat", blackColor)
        }
    }
}

```

}
