I'm using flex 2.0 and multiple validators in such a manner that I
enable/disable them depending on whether some text has been placed
in
specific textInput controls. However, *most* of the time, the
validators are
disabled but the screen still reflects that they are
operating (ie, the red
boxes around the previously mentioned
textboxes). Seems like a bug to me. It
has happened on the Number
Validator, the String validator to my knowledge,
maybe more of
them.
Here's my mxml. I have 3 validators, one for
each of the text
fields. When the user has changed the data in a textinput,
I call a
function that re-evaluates all the validators to make sure they
should be enabled/disabled. I have verified that they are disabled
AND
not required, but the screen still continues to show them as red
boxes. Any
ideas on this problem would be welcome
:)
Thanks!
Chad
