Hi, > I just noticed "Validation is triggered > automatically when a data binding executes...Automatic validation > only works when binding and validators are defined at the same level > in the application." in the docs (pg. 582, devflexapps.pdf)
yepp, but even if you copy & paste the snippet from the PDF into a mxml app it doesn't work. I guess it's a bug. By the way: I just found that the RequireFieldValidator gets triggered if you do the following: 1) type something into the TextInput 2) delete all characters out of the TextInput 3) change focus not that intuitive ;) > So, I still ask myself why it doesn't work without triggering?
