Here's how I would do it: <mx:Model id="person"> <name> <custName> <first>{firstInput.text}</first> <middle>{middleInput.text}</middle> <last>{lastInput.text}</last> </custName> </name> </mx:Model>
<mx:TextInput id="firstInput"/> <mx:TextInput id="middleInput"/> <mx:TextInput id="lastInput"/> <mx:Validator source="{person}" property="custName.first" listener="{firstInput}" trigger="{btn}" triggerEvent="click" required="true" /> <mx:Validator source="{person}" property="custName.middle" listener="{middleInput}" trigger="{btn}" triggerEvent="click" required="true" /> <mx:Validator source="{person}" property="custName.last" listener="{lastInput}" trigger="{btn}" triggerEvent="click" required="true" /> <mx:Button id="btn" label="Validate" /> So you basically have separate validators for each of the fields and they all get triggered on the button click.
