You should be able to specify the listener property on the Validator to point to that TextInput. I would have hoped the binding would have figured that out for you automatically, but sometimes it can't.

I have a .mxml file which contains a TextInput. Then that object is within a FormItem on another .mxml page. When I declare my validators on the main page, they work for all my TextInputs, but the "embedded" one does not get the red frame and tooltip on validation failure. The validation runs and I get a popup with the error, but no red frame, etc. like all its' buddies on the screen. I am using <mx:Binding source="FormItem.embeddedTextInput.text" and <mx:Validator field="myModelField" How do I hook up the embedded textInput to validator so it know to turn its frame red, tec.
