thanks for posting that. Very clever short hand solution. I decided to just throw it into a class for anyone else who comes along in the future.

Thanks again,
dela

public class KeyCodes
{
public const INVALID_INPUT:String = “null”;

private var alphabet:Array;
private var nums:Array;

private var key:Object;

public function KeyCodes()
{
init();
}

private function init():void
{
// create constants for all letter and number keys:
alphabet = “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”.split(”);
nums = ["ZERO","ONE","TWO","THREE","FOUR","FIVE","SIX","SEVEN","EIGHT","NINE"];

key = new Object();
for (var i:int = 0; i < alphabet.length; i++) {
key[ alphabet[i] ] = 65 + i;
}

for (i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){
var code:int = 48 + i;
key[ nums[i] ] = code;
}
}

public function translateCodeIntoKey( keyCode:uint ):String
{
for ( var keyName:String in key ) {
if ( keyCode == key[keyName] ) {
return keyName;
}
}
return INVALID_INPUT;
}
}

_tabla._Omin.maxChars=2
_tabla._Oseg.restrict = “0-9″;

With this limit the char that you put in the text field.

Thanks for all.

var nums:Array = ["ZERO","ONE","TWO","THREE","FOUR","FIVE","SIX","SEVEN","EIGHT","NINE"];

Could I ask if evt.keyCode is inside key:Object = new Object();

or the number of elements inside key

Thanks for all and sorry my bad english

Ah, using ActionScript to write ActionScript, I like your style

no need for typing skills…. you can simply do something like this:
var alphabet:Array = “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”.split(”");
var nums:Array = ["ZERO","ONE","TWO","THREE","FOUR","FIVE","SIX","SEVEN","EIGHT","NINE"];
for (var i:int = 0; i<alphabet.length; i++)
trace(”public static const “+ alphabet[i] + “:int = ” + (65 + i) + “\n”);

for (i = 0; i<nums.length; i++){
trace(”public static const “+ nums[i] + “:int = ” +(48 + i) + “\n”);
}

use ActionScript to write the class for you…
