I want to have a ZIP code validator ignore the zip code field, if the country is not the USA or Canada.

I can't seem to get it to do this -- I have an editable combo box that contains a list of countries to choose from (or you can type in the name of a country if it's not in the list.) If the user chooses USA or Canada, I want the ZipCodeValidator to do its thing, otherwise I want it to ignore the ZipCode field.

I've tried setting the ZipCodeValidator's source=null when the country is changed to something other than USA or Canada, but that doesn't seem to work. It still pops up an error message saying it's an invalid zip code.

If, instead of setting a 'source' property in the ZipCodeValidator's MXML, I use my own custom function to run a check for a .VALID condition, it doesn't pop up any error messages at all, ever. (The .VALID check *does* work, though -- it returns .VALID only when it's a valid code -- it just doesn't pop up the red error text, ever).

So how do I get it to pop up error messages when I want them, and ignore the field completely when I don't want error messages?
