Here's how I would do it:
<mx:Model id="person">
<name>
<custName>
<first>{firstInput.text}</first>
<middle>{middleInput.text}</middle>
<last>{lastInput.text}</last>
</custName>
</name>
</mx:Model>
<mx:TextInput id="firstInput"/>
<mx:TextInput id="middleInput"/>
<mx:TextInput id="lastInput"/>
<mx:Validator source="{person}" property="custName.first"
listener="{firstInput}" trigger="{btn}" triggerEvent="click"
required="true" />
<mx:Validator source="{person}" property="custName.middle"
listener="{middleInput}" trigger="{btn}" triggerEvent="click"
required="true" />
<mx:Validator source="{person}" property="custName.last"
listener="{lastInput}" trigger="{btn}" triggerEvent="click"
required="true" />
<mx:Button id="btn" label="Validate" />
So you basically have separate validators for each of the fields and
they all get triggered on the button click.
