Do you want it watching per key-stroke or when the user hits enter or removes focus. I don't think you want to try to emulate the PropertyWatcher setup if you have your own component to begin with, it relies on the compiler knowing what to generate and lots of other setup independent of the individual component.
So just add an event listener on the input for the "change" event (per key-stroke) or on the "enter" or "focusOut" event for a more delayed reaction. Then in the handler for the event do whatever you want to do, and if there's a problem set the errorString property.

I'm making progress, but at a snails pace. My goal is to have my custom component show a tooltip like TextInputs do when you have a validation error. In my debugging various Flex framework files, apparently _Application_watcherSetup creates a bunch of PropertyWatchers. The issue is, my custom comonent proprties do not pass in an object for the 2nd parameter to PropertyWatcher, and thus do not trigger validation events so Binding + ToolTipManager and friends can show a validation error as a tooltip with the errorString. The Application-generated.as file is weird, though; the _Application_watcherSetup just has 3 dependecy variables, and I can't find who is creating the PropertyWatchers even though the FlexBuilder 1.5 call stack claims it's that function. Any guidance? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
