ActionScript3: regex expression for password that checks number of characters - actionscript-3

Question

I'm trying to use a regex expression in AS3/Flex4.6 to check for passwords meeting the following criteria:
Between 6 and 15 characters
Must contain at least one lower case letter
Must contain at least one upper case letter
Must contain at least one number (e.g 0-9)
So far, here is what I'm using:
<mx:RegExpValidator source="{loginPwd}" property="text"
expression="^\w*(?=\w*\d)(?=\w*[a-z])(?=\w*[A-Z])\w*$"
valid="rh(event);" invalid="rh(event);"/>
It does everything except catch password length of 6 to 15 characters. I could use a StringValidator to do this, but I'd rather have the RegExpValidator do both (so that I don't have the situation where multiple error messages are displayed for one TextInput field, e.g. one for each validator).
I've tried the following regex expressions, but while they compile, they do not work (for example, aaAA33 doesn't pass).
expression="((?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{6,15})"
expression="(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{6,15}"
expression="(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{6,15}^$"
expression="^.*(?=.{6,15})(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).*$"

Answer 1

I tried your expression with my Regex testtool on the mac
"((?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{6,15})" - works
"^.*(?=.{6,15})(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).*$" - works
works like intended.
Did you try to match the string with a normal actionscript regex pattern? I did.
public function runTest():void
{
var testArray:Array = ["aaBB99","aaaaa99","AAAAAAA","A3b","A3bdsdsdsd"];
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp("^.*(?=.{6,15})(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).*$");
for each ( var value:String in testArray )
{
trace(value.match(reg));
}
}
the output was:
[trace] aaBB99
[trace] null
[trace] null
[trace] null
[trace] A3bdsdsdsd
