Hi timgerr, try the following:
var globalValidators:Object = new Object() ; inside the dynamically validators function do the following: globalValidators["validatorID_" + formItem[0].id] = validateString ; now when you need the validator (and you know the component (and its id) you can get the validator: StringValidator sv = globalValidators["validatorID_" + knownFormItem.id] as StringValidator On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 6:38 AM, timgerr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not sure how to do that.
