[flexcoders] Re: Form validation before submitting...
Just one technique: using AS, throw the validators into an ArrayCollection on creationComplete. Before you submit, loop through the validators and execute the validate() function on each. If one fails, bail out. The docs can show you how to work with ValidationResultEvent. Also remember that all validators can be cast as Validator; regardles of the subclass. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Laurence MacNeill lmacne...@... wrote: At 08:13 PM 5/18/2009, you wrote: Almost seems like you'd want to loop through the validators instead, huh? -TH Didn't know I could do that...

[flexcoders] Re: Form validation before submitting...
first you trying to use numChildren as a method but it is not it is a property which return int value and it is read-only so remove the () in the loop second what is errorString ???
[flexcoders] Re: Form validation before submitting...
import mx.core.UIComponent;
private function formIsValid():Boolean
{
var validForm:Boolean = true;
for (var i:int = 0; i this.numChildren; i++)
{
if ( UIComponent(this.getChildAt(i)).errorString != )
{
validForm = false;
}
}
return validForm;
}

Oh LOL -- now I feel like an idiot. Of course, it's a property not a method. Thanks for pointing that out. :-) And, errorString is what gets set when a validator pops up one of those little red error messages. You can set it yourself, too, if you want, after manually using a valdiator to check for a .VALID condition. Laurence MacNeill Mableton, Georgia, USA

Thanks, Tim! Exactly what I was looking for. Much obliged.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Form validation before submitting...
Why not stop and return when validForm just turns false, like this:

Yep, good re-factor.

Doesn't work for me, either way, unfortunately... For some reason
it's not returning false when there are errorStrings... It's
allowing the form to submit, even though I can clearly see the red
border(s) around the textInput(s).
Any ideas?
[flexcoders] Re: Form validation before submitting...
Are you sure that you are looking for the children in the correct
parent? Worked for me.
