Use a StringValidator that enables or disables fields based on the
validity of the field in question. I use it all the time for forms
where the submit button is disabled until all required fields are
valid. I think using the focus/blur events are the wrong way to go
about it.
<mx:StringValidator source="{this.zipCodeInput}" property="text"
minLength="1" valid="this.phoneNumberInput.enabled=true;"
invalid="this.phoneNumberInput.enabled=false;" />
