Problem with Editable Fields

Hi,
I have the a number of fields in a card that have to be range
checked, to do this i have the following code:
on openField
set the cpSaveTextOfMe to the text of me
end openField
on closeField
if (the text of me < 0) or (the text of me > 999) then
set the text of me to the cpSaveTextOfMe of me
select the text of me
beep
end closeField
There is also a "Done" Button that has this script:
on mouseUp
save this stack
close this stack
end mouseUp
If I enter an invalid number and then click in another field, I get
beep and the contents of the field are restored and all is well.
However, if I enter an invalid number and then click the "Done"
button, it looks like the "mouseUp" handler is run BEFORE the
"closeField" handler. Since the value stored in the stack is the
invalid data. Is this the correct action? If so, what is the best way
to make this work so that bad values are not saved in the stack. I
really don't want to have to validate all fields from the "Done" and
other buttons on the card.
Thanks in Advance
Dave
