Mika,
thx, this is a very helpful one.
Today I ran into another one, I was trying to access the field
attribute of a validator inside the class, got an undefined all the
time. The docs states that the field propery is not to be set in
ActionScript, is it not accessable at all?
app.mxml:
<MyOwnValidator field="model.bla" />
inside of MyOwnValidator.as:
class MyOwnValidator extens mx.validators.EmailValidator
{
public var myfield = ??? ;
...
}
Cheers
Kai

MK> Subject: [flexcoders] Changing the wrongLengthError in a DateValidator
MK> Hi all,
MK> another validator-related question:
MK> Having to validate for a date using a DateValidator, the requirements
MK> are to just deliver one validation message if the validation fails.
MK> Following the concept, I'd have to add a long list of attributes to my
MK> validator call, as in:
MK> <mx:DateValidator ... invalidCharError="blabla"
MK> invalidFormatCharsError="blabla" ... />
MK> So we thought it might be nice to subclass the DataValidator and to
MK> define a defaultErrorMessage which we can pass into our own validator
MK> class and internally, the class is responsible to overwrite the values
MK> of the pre-defined errors.
MK> Works quite good, BUT doesn't work for wrongLengthError. The docs
MK> state:
>>Error message when the length of the date doesn't match that of the
>>inputFormat. Default is "Please type the date in the format
>><i>inputFormat</i>.".
MK> That means the default error might be something like:
MK> "Please...format mm/dd/yyyy"
MK> As far as I understand, I'd expect to be able to overwrite the default
MK> with anything I like, but regardless to what I set the value for
MK> wrongLengthError, Flex always adds the value of inputFormat to my
MK> error message - I end up with something like
MK> "This is my errortext and I want you to type it correct mm/dd/yyyy"
MK> This is especially annoying with localized error messages in which the
MK> inputFormat has to be at another place within the error message by
MK> grammar: "Bitte nutzen Sie das Format dd.mm.yyyy in diesem Feld".
MK> Is there a way to get rid of the automatic concatenation of the
MK> inputFormat within the wrongLengthError of this validator?
MK> Cheers
