You've shown me yours

Alright, Kit, I will whip up an example, and yes, it will have stars in the password field (that is an input textbox option so that is easy)

22

It’s an option?!?

****! I coded it to do that! :sure:

<b>Kit beats head against nearest wall</b>

God, what a dumb *** blonde…

23

You coded it to do that? You could easily right click on the input box, open the properties panel and set the one drop down to “password” the other options are single line, multiline, and multiline no-wrap.

It will automatically convert the characters to stars for the viewer.

Here is a VERY quick example of my password script, you can use the encoder in the link above to create new passwords if you wish. Just make sure to put the numbers generated between double quotes in the pCheck variable.

[edit]K-man… I can’t attach .fla files??? whats up with that? It says it isn’t one of the file types able to upload[/edit]

As I said, it’s not super duper secure, but its better than having if (enteredPass == “realPassword”)

25

Thanks, you’re a star. :beam:

I had this… [AS]Selection.setFocus(_root.passwordInput);
passwordIinput.onChanged = function() {
text = passwordInput.text;
stext = text.substr(text.length-1, 1);
passwordText = passwordText add stext;
if (text.length == 1) {
passwordText = “*”;
} else {
rtext = text.substr(0, text.length-1);
passwordText = rtext add “#”;
}
}; [/AS] There’s a couple of Textfields involved along the way too, which is what they’re referring to. Of course if there’s a setting for it, then the whole thing is redundant. :sure:

26

Wow, yeah, that is definitely nice coding, but completely unneccesary :stuck_out_tongue:

27

Boy do I feel like a moron. :stuck_out_tongue:

28

Selection.setFocus(_root.passwordInput);

Do you experience the inability to use backspace in your input textbox when using that piece of code?

I did. I think ahmed scoped it out at flashcoders and it is a known bug.

29

Yup, happens to me too. Got round it by typing the password in very carefully each time. :stuck_out_tongue: Maybe they’ll fix that in MX-2? :slight_smile:

lol, nice code there kit. :thumb:

It’s ok to reinvent the wheel sometimes, you learn a thing or two on the way. :wink:
