Jason,
Thanks. I guess I just got mixed up since it's a little unnatural to
instantiate a class to call a method that should be static! Also,
adding text to the "errorString" field automatically sets everything
red....here's my method should anyone search upon this message at a
future date:
private function validateField() : void {
var emails : Array = toField.text.split(",");
for(var j:uint=0; j < emails.length; j++)
{
var emailVal : EmailValidator = new EmailValidator();
var valResult : ValidationResultEvent =
emailVal.validate(emails[j]);
if(valResult.type == ValidationResultEvent.INVALID)
{
toField.errorString="'" + emails[j] + "' is not a valid
e-mail address.";
return;
}
}
}
