password generator is faulty

[Garethh-u6PBDu]

hi i used a password generator from a website flashkit.com, the code is as follows, but kicks out different variable ranging from 1 then 2 then 3 then 1 and is not constantly kicking out seven , can someone help me to change it please.

function newPassword(){

    var totalChar = 7; // number of chars in the password

    var salt = "abcdefghijklmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789";  // salt to select chars from

    var saltLength=salt.length;

    var userPass=""; // set the inital variable

    for (var xx=0;xx<totalChar;xx++){  // loop and create password

        userPass+=salt.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random()*saltLength));

    }

    return userPass;

}

button1.onRelease=function(){

    fred.text=newPassword();

}

Hi.

It always generates a password with 7 chars for me.

Please double-check if your text field is big enough to display 7 chars.

It works 100% thank you. ive never used a radio button before and am wanting to know does it differ in script from a regular button ?

such as a_btn.onRelease = function(){

does a radio function use onRelease ?? if its instance name is a_btn what is the code that can be used on a radio button before the = function(){ ?

[JoãoCésar]

That's great!

Here is a reference that may help you:

Flash CS4 Professional ActionScript 2.0

If you Google "as2 radio button" you'll find many resources on this subject.
