Not sure how to do that. If the validators are created dynamically: var c:UIComponent = formItem[0]; 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;
How do I make an an associative array? Not sure what the id of the validator is. Thanks for the help, timgerr FYI, c is a UIComponent --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Perhaps create an associative array of references to the validators? > > Tracy > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of timgerr > Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 7:12 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Get id of dynamic validator > > > > Hello, I have this form and I am createin dynamic validators for each > textinput.
