[flexcoders] Get id of dynamic validator

[timgerr]

Hello, I have this form and I am createin dynamic validators for each
textinput.  I cannot see how to get the validators id when I try and
validate the textinput boxes, here is my code:
<mx:Form width="370" id="userInfoForm">
     <mx:FormItem label="First Name" required="true"
id="fname_25_string">
         <mx:TextInput id="firstName" toolTip="First Name: Max Length 25
Characters"
              maxChars="35" text="James"/>
     </mx:FormItem>
     <mx:FormItem label="Last Name" required="true" id="lname_25_string">
         <mx:TextInput id="lastName" toolTip="Last Name: Max Length 25
Characters"
              maxChars="35"/>
     </mx:FormItem>
     <mx:FormItem label="Email" required="true" id="Email__">
         <mx:TextInput id="email" editable="false" toolTip="Cannot edit
this field"/>
     </mx:FormItem>
     <mx:FormItem label="Title" id="tit_25_string">
         <mx:TextInput id="title" maxChars="35" toolTip="Title: Max
Length 25 Characters"/>
     </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>


So I do a creationcomplete to run a function to get a list of all the
textboxes:
private function GetChild(item:Object):void
{
     var formItems:Array = item.getChildren();
     // loop items and add values
     for (var i:int = 0; i < formItems.length; i++)
     {
         // formItem
         var formItem:Array = formItems[i].getChildren();
         var c:UIComponent = formItem[0];
         if(c.className.toString() == 'TextInput'){
              var rtnID:String = c.id;
               formItem[0].text = _performaReturnUsersData[rtnID];
               /* adding an eventlistener (focuseEvent) to all textinput
*/
               c.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT,UpdateItem);
               var validateString:StringValidator = new
StringValidator();
               validateString.source = c;
               validateString.property = "text";
               validateString.required = formItem[0].parent.required;
               validateString.maxLength = formItem[0].maxChars - 10;
         }
     }
}

This function will go through an find textinput boxes then assign a
validator  to them.  So all is working  but the problem is I have no
idea how to validate the data without knowing the id of the individual
instance of the validator.

I have added a listener to the instances of the textinput called
UpdateItem, so here is the code:

function UpdateItem(f:FocuseOut):void
{
    trace(f.target.id);
   // Not sure what to do here becuase I dont know the id of the
validator attached to the textinput
}

How can I see if the textinput passes the validators?

Thanks for the help,
