this prob will help the event.stopPrapgation() stops it but u can see if
everything passed. this is something i am working on so feel free to use it
package com.manager
{
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
import mx.events.ValidationResultEvent;
import mx.validators.Validator;
//so we dont have to put it we just assume
[DefaultProperty("validators")]
public class ValidatorManager
{
/**
* @private
* Tells Us If Everything in the Form is Valid
*/
[Bindable]
public var formValid:Boolean=false;
/**
* Accepts an Array of Validators which we will loop through
* and make sure all of them pass
*/
[ArrayElementType("mx.validators.Validator")]
private var $validators:Array;
/**
* @private
* Key Used to retrieve the Component
*/
private var $validatorKey:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
public function ValidatorManager()
{
super();
}
/**
* Setters and Getters To get what the Validators are
*/
public function get validators():Array{
return $validators;
}
public function set validators(value:Array):void{
$validators=value;
for(var i:int=0;i<$validators.length;i++){
Validator($validators[i]).addEventListener(ValidationResultEvent.INVALID,figureOutResults);
Validator($validators[i]).addEventListener(ValidationResultEvent.VALID,figureOutResults);
$validatorKey[$validators[i]] = new Object();
$validatorKey[$validators[i]].target=$validators[i];
$validatorKey[$validators[i]].isValid=false;
}
}
/**
* @private
* Basically this function tells us if we can say that everything in
* the form is valid
*/
private function figureOutResults(event:ValidationResultEvent):void
{
//so we start off as a base of true, reason is we will need 2 trues for us to
have a true
var tmpFlag:Boolean=true;
for(var i:int=0;i<$validators.length;i++)
{
//check all of them
if($validatorKey[$validators[i]].target==event.currentTarget)
{
$validatorKey[$validators[i]].isValid=(event.type==ValidationResultEvent.VALID);
}
//get the previous value and put it against the other and see if we can get a
true
//if not that means that one of the validators is invalid.
tmpFlag=(tmpFlag && $validatorKey[$validators[i]].isValid);
}
formValid=tmpFlag;
/*
THIS STOPS ANYTHING FROM SHOWING
*/
event.stopPropagation();

Subject: [flexcoders] Can I check validation without validator.validate() and
the associated visual feedback?
Hi guys,
What I'm after is something that will simply give me a true/false result for a
mx:validator without triggering the popups or red outlines on fields. Is there
an easy way to do this? If not, should I write custom validators with this
functionality / use modified SDK source, or would it be easier to extend the
various validators and peek into protected structures?
Please note that I don't want to disable the functionality of validate(), I
just want to be able to see whether or not it would pass.
Thanks in advance,
-Josh
