Hi,
I used a different approach to this question as the bulleted text font
didn't seem that secure. The following code just traps the characters
entered into a field and replaces them with "*" while storing the actual
string into a global variable.
on openfield
global gThePass
put empty into gThePass
put empty into fld "password"
pass openfield
end openfield
on keydown thekey
global gThePass
put thekey after gThePass
put "*" after field "Password"
end keydown
on backspacekey
global gThePass
put empty into fld "password"
put empty into gThePass
end backspacekey
on returninfield
global gTheUser
send mouseup to btn "Login"
exit returninfield
end returninfield
The only downside is that if the user makes a mistake and types a backspace
they have to start all over again.
Hope this helps.
Regards
John

The option-8 is not always a bullet.
It depends on the font
and the high-ascii assignments.
It could be as simple as choosing the correct font for the platform you
detect.

Yes, it has worked correctly for me in both mac and win, but it doesn't work
right in Linux.
