Hello All,

I have a project I'm working on in Flex 3.5 that involves writing a bunch of 
validation stuff for focusIn and focusOut for components. Depending on the type 
of validation selected this could generate an Alert message. So the problem I 
am running into is say I have two TextInput boxes, both with their FocusOut 
property set to validate a phone number, and if the phone number is incorrect, 
it will pop an alert and place the focus back into that textbox.. A user types 
in a Phone Number and hits tab. The focusOut on Text1 does its validation and 
pops a message that the phone number needs to be at least 10 digits in length. 
The focus gets pulled from Text2 to place it back into Text1 thereby calling 
the focus out in Text2 which is blank so it also pops an alert and now we have 
an infinite loop of alert and focus movement. 

I've been trying to find a way to code around this and am fishing for ideas. 
One idea I had was to somehow override the focusManager for this form, but am 
not having much luck figuring out how to exactly do this. Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks, 
Amanda
