Hi
When I read your message I found that I had the same need. So here it is
:)
******************
package com.mycomp.validator
{
import mx.validators.Validator;
import mx.validators.ValidationResult;
public class PasswordValidator extends Validator
{
/**
* Constructor.
*/
public function PasswordValidator()
{
super();
}
/**
* The password the check against.
*/
public var pwdToCheck:String;
/**
* Convenience method for calling the validator from custom
classes.
*/
public static function
validatePassword(validator:PasswordValidator,
value:Object,
baseField:String = null):Array
{
var results:Array = [];
var val:String = value != null ? String(value) : "";
if(val != validator.pwdToCheck)
{
results.push(new ValidationResult(
true, baseField,
"notEqual", validator.notEqualError));
return results;
}
return results;
}
/**
* Error message when the passwords are not equal.
*
* @default "Too many at characters in your email address."
*/
public var notEqualError:String = "Passwords are not equal";
/**
* Override of the base class <code>doValidation()</code>
method
* to validate two password fields.
*/
override protected function doValidation(value:Object):Array
{
var results:Array = super.doValidation(value);
// Return if there are errors
// or if the required property is set to false and length is
0.
var val:String = value ? String(value) : "";
if (results.length > 0 || ((val.length == 0) && !required))
return results;
else
return PasswordValidator.validatePassword(this, value,
null);
}
}
}
*********************
You can use it in both mxml and as, just include two textfields password
and password2:
var pwdValidator:PasswordValidator = new PasswordValidator();
pwdValidator.listener = password2;
pwdValidator.pwdToCheck = password.text;
var results:Array = new Array();
results = pwdValidator.validate(password2.text).results;
<validator:PasswordValidator id="pwdV" source="{password2}"
property="text" pwdToCheck="{password.text}"/>
