I just found out it will work if you escape the curly brackets with a
backslash, also, the leading and trailing / characters appear to be
unnecessary:
<mx:RegExpValidator
source="{client}" property="text"
expression="^[a-z]\{6,16\}$" flags="g"
trigger="{client}" triggerEvent="change"
/>
That works in Flex 3, anyway.
