Password Strength Meter

I found a good starting example of a password strength meter at http://subeesh.wordpress.com/2008/02/19/flex-password-strength-meter/#comment-69

It's got a nice graphical component, and great regular expression checkers, but the algorithms used to evaluate password strength are unknown to me. I imported his gradient bar into my component, which is simply a VBox which contains the graphics context for the gradient and algorithm. The component also requires a "dataProvider", which is just the TextInput component you wish to evaluate.
