Class | public class CreditCardValidator |
Inheritance | CreditCardValidator Validator EventDispatcher Object |
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
You can specify the input to the CreditCardValidator in two ways:
- Use the
cardNumberSource
andcardNumberProperty
properties to specify the location of the credit card number, and thecardTypeSource
andcardTypeProperty
properties to specify the location of the credit card type to validate. - Use the
source
andproperty
properties to specify a single Object. The Object should contain the following fields:-
cardType
- Specifies the type of credit card being validated.In MXML, use the values:
"American Express"
,"Diners Club"
,"Discover"
,"MasterCard"
, or"Visa"
.In ActionScript, use the static constants
CreditCardValidatorCardType.MASTER_CARD
,CreditCardValidatorCardType.VISA
, orCreditCardValidatorCardType.AMERICAN_EXPRESS
CreditCardValidatorCardType.DISCOVER
, orCreditCardValidatorCardType.DINERS_CLUB
. -
cardNumber
- Specifies the number of the card being validated.
-
To perform the validation, it uses the following guidelines:
Length:
- Visa: 13 or 16 digits
- MasterCard: 16 digits
- Discover: 16 digits
- American Express: 15 digits
- Diners Club: 14 digits or 16 digits if it also functions as MasterCard
- Visa: 4
- MasterCard: 51 to 55
- Discover: 6011
- American Express: 34 or 37
- Diners Club: 300 to 305, 36 or 38, 51 to 55
The <mx:CreditCardValidator>
tag
inherits all of the tag attributes of its superclass,
and adds the following tag attributes:
<mx:CreditCardValidator allowedFormatChars=" -" cardNumberListener="Object specified by cardNumberSource" cardNumberProperty="No default" cardNumberSource="No default" cardTypeListener="Object specified by cardTypeSource" cardTypeProperty="No default" cardTypeSource="No default" invalidCharError= "Invalid characters in your credit card number. (Enter numbers only.)" invalidNumberError="The credit card number is invalid." noNumError="No credit card number is specified." noTypeError="No credit card type is specified or the type is not valid." wrongLengthError="Your credit card number contains the wrong number of digits." wrongTypeError="Incorrect card type is specified." />

as the parameter. | Object | ||
Indicates whether the specified property exists and is enumerable. | Object | ||
Removes a listener from the EventDispatcher object. | EventDispatcher | ||
Sets the availability of a dynamic property for loop operations. | Object | ||
Returns the string representation of this object, formatted according to locale-specific conventions. | Object | ||
