Hi.
I would normally make you do a lot of work here, but my comrades would give me a lot of flack.
Make a field. In its script place:
Code: Select all
on keydown tKey
if the length of me < 8 then pass keyDown
end keydown
Do you know what "me" is? Why does the term "tKey" exist at all? Why does the "8" work, when it seems that it should be "9"
Heh, heh.

OK.
But don't you see where the test HAS to be?
Code: Select all
if the result is not "Cancel" and the length of it < 9 then
Now you do have homework. What do you do if the entry does indeed exceed eight chars? Certainly not just nothing, eh?

Hi Lagi,
yes, that's a bit strange, there was nothing illegal, immoral or fattening in the initial question!?
But everyone has its little daemons, right
Best

It makes me wonder how I made a decent response.

IIRC I think it was about using the"ask" dialogue to obtain user input but restricting the possible input data.

It was indeed, though the language did not make that clear until the repost, the original sounding like it was data typed into a field.
Not sure what happened. The OP could certainly put empty into his post instead of deleting it. I wonder if it was a typo.
