    Cannot enter numbers into a text field

      Problem: I can't enter any numbers into my input field!  Only letters!

       

      Details:

       

      The input fields are a 'Classic Text' input field, and part of a Flash app I made last year for a client. The Flash was made with Flash CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.4, and was published last year and has been working all year.

       

      At some point recently I upgraded to Flash CS5 (this time on a PC), and I also had to re-compile the Flash app for a miscellaneous reason (a new image in the app). I left the publish settings alone (Flash 9, AS3) and re-published the Flash and put it up live. As far as I can tell everything was fine.

       

      Now the client is coming to me saying they can't enter numbers on the input fields, only letters !!!

       

      Aside from the transition to CS5, or an upgrade in Flash Player in the browser, I can't think of what else would cause a problem.

       

      In troubleshooting this, I did notice for the first time the feature of 'TLF Text'. I have never used it, but when I copy the form MC to a test file and run it with TLF fields, they accept all characters including numbers. When I switch a field back to Classic Text, I can no longer enter numbers.

       

      What gives?

       

      Any info out there?

       

      Thanks in advance!
