If you just want to turn off the visual indication, you can clear the errorString property of the control. Tip: For custom validation, you can write your own error message to errorString. This will trigger the red border and error message to appear.
As I understand the Flex framework, you have three states of validation. You can validate "as-you-go" and/or validate in response to a gesture (like clicking a search button). I like validating as-you-go when at all possible. It notifies the user immediately that they need to make a correction before proceeding. Usually, controls that always need to be validated should be validated as-you-go. In addition, you can create a "catch-all" function that selectively validates controls before submitting a request to the server. As a practical matter, you can choose to validate the as-you-go controls in this function as well. This may be overkill, but I don't like embarrassing the application by asking the server an impossible question.
For controls that may or may not need to be validated, depending on the state of other controls, you should try to organize the validation into functional groups/collections in the catch-all function. From here, you can manually control the error state of the controls. I'm sure that there is a possible reason for disabling a validator, but I prefer avoiding this approach. imho, I think that this creates code that is more difficult to maintain. Instead, I would move the validation to the catch-all function.
I'm really not sure if this applies to your particular situation, but I hope that this helps you.
