While the default Flex zip code validator only checks whether the value 
looks like an acceptable US ZIP or Canadian postal code, it wouldn't be 
too hard to subclass it to emit the associated state/territory for a 
given zip code in a custom validation result event.  The range of ZIP 
codes mapping to each state or territory is relatively small and mostly 
contiguous, so you can probably get away with embedding it into a Flex 
class without a significant size overhead.

You can find a list of the mappings here:
