If the user simply never enters the zip code field, for instance, the focustOut event will never fire, and thus the validator will never fire either. I find LiveDocs very confusing.

And actually, if you read the entries on these validators, the information is very specific. But I wasn't referring to the language reference. I was talking about the validator discussion within the main Flex 3 development docs. Try doing a little reading there, and you'll find the answers to many of the questions you've been asking. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
