Hi Tim,
On the text field if I remove the focusSkin yes, it then uses the red
border as it should. But on the combo box and numeric stepper I can
confirm that the validation is working fine - when I mouse over the
field it still brings up the red tooltip to the right hand side, it's
just not giving me the outline on the control itself. And importantly
you can see from the css below that my combo box doesn't even have a
focusskin specified.
I've discovered that if I use the tab button to move focus onto the
combobox after validation has failed, then the focus border appears
and is red - but it won't appear by itself.
I would have assumed that you could provide a focusskin and then the
component would still draw the red border, but I can't find any
references for it. Can anyone tell me how to do this? There doesn't
seem to be a skin option for the error border itself.

Hi Toby,
For drawing the error border, flex uses the Focus Manager. If you
use a focusSkin, it lloks like it over-rides the focus rectangle
drawn with the errorColor. Try taking that skin out, to see if it
comes back. Don't know about the comboBox. Have you verified that
the validation failure is actually setting the errorString? You can
try this; to find out if it's a skin or logic problem:
<mx:ComboBox errorString="Test"/>
