[flexcoders] Validator Problem

[dval823]

I am having a problem with a simple text validator.  See code below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>
<mx:Model id="form">
        <title>{tiTitle.text}</title>
</mx:Model>
<mx:StringValidator field="form.title" listener="tiTitle"
requiredFieldError="Title must be entered"/>
<mx:Form>
          <mx:FormItem label="Last Name">
               <mx:TextInput id="tiLast"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
          <mx:FormItem label="Title">
               <mx:TextInput id="tiTitle" />
          </mx:FormItem>
                   <mx:FormItem label="booboo">
               <mx:TextInput id="boobbooo"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>

OR:  

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>
<mx:Model id="form">
        <title>{tiTitle.text}</title>
</mx:Model>
<mx:StringValidator field="form.title" listener="tiTitle"
maxLength="6" minLength="3"/>
<mx:Form>
          <mx:FormItem label="Last Name">
               <mx:TextInput id="tiLast"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
          <mx:FormItem label="Title">
               <mx:TextInput id="tiTitle" />
          </mx:FormItem>
                   <mx:FormItem label="booboo">
               <mx:TextInput id="boobbooo"/>
          </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>



If no data is entered into the field, the validator does not trigger.
 If you enter data, and then delete the data, the validator is
triggered.  Or, if using the min and max example,  if you enter data
of the wrong length, the validator is triggered. If you don't enter
data at all, the validator does not trigger. How do you use this
validator to enforce required text??
