I've been working on this trying to figure out the best way to handle it. The compiler nicely informs me that id tags aren't supported on validators, so it appears setting the required property on a validator isn't directly possible. The only way I can determine is that I should be calling the validator's disable method, eg: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/validators/Validator .html#disable So I modified the PaymentInformation.mxml to have: <mx:Model id="paymentInformationModel"> <usepurchaseorder>{ usePurchaseOrder.selected }</usepurchaseorder> <purchaseordernumber>{ purchaseOrderNumber.text }</purchaseordernumber> ... etc ... </mx:Model> <mx:StringValidator field="paymentInformationModel.purchaseordernumber" requiredFieldError="Please enter your purchase order number." /> Then, in CheckoutViewHelper.as, I modified it to have: public function validateCheckOutForm() : Boolean { var validStructures : Number = 0; var structuresToBeValidated : Number = 2; // manually set required for non-binding validators if (view.paymentInformationComp.usePurchaseOrder.selected) { mx.validators.Validator.enable(view, "paymentInformationModel.purchaseordernumber"); } else { mx.validators.Validator.disable(view, "paymentInformationModel.purchaseordernumber"); } ... etc ... } However, this doesn't seem to work. I've tried passing in "purchaseOrderNumber" and other variations to the disable and enable methods, but it still shows up as being a required field. I hope I'm missing something obvious -- my next step would be to use a generic Validator with a custom validate() function, which all seems rather messy. Thanks, Blake ------------------------ Yahoo!
