Restricting input to certain chars eg numbers
Make a mc with a dynamic text in it. Name the textvariable "text".  
Place the mc on the timeline and attach the following script to it:
(To restrict to other chars, simply change the string allowed) 

onClipEvent(load){
	//init the textfield
	text = "";
	//this are the allowed characters
	allowed="0123456789";
}

onClipEvent(keyUp){
	var ch;
	
	//get the pressed key as character
	ch = chr(Key.getCode());
	
	//check if this character is in allowed 
	if(allowed.indexOf(ch) != -1){
		//the character is ok, append it to our string
		text += ch;
	} 	
}

if you use embedded fonts, you can restrict the 
input-chars by including only the corresponding 
outlines. 

thanks to urami for that tip

The embedding option will work only if you have one textbox. If you have multiple textboxes in the form then this won't work

You can do multiple textboxes as long as the each limited textbox share the same fontfamily with the same restrictions.
