I'm actually using a dataholder and using a custom validation class that
gets called via the databinding API. So the validation routine is called
when the value in the dataholder, bound to the field, is changed. I'm
pretty sure the event I 'have' to use for this is change.
Its not terrible if the validation gets ran twice. But what happens is, if
the user types an incorrect value and then clicks outside of a field (not
in another fields), an error flag shows visible. Then if they click inside
a different field, the error flag shows again for the last field. It just
looks buggy, cause, if they leave a field and go directly to another field
that gets focus, the error flag shows only once as intended. So its look
inconsistent I guess.
I kinda like the way the dataholder is able to check validation rules. I
just wish I could add the validation rules to the dataholder at runtime via
AS. Manually doing it kinda sucks. I made some small changes to the
Validation Classes that came with mx and added some of my own so that when
the form is submitted via the submit button, all of the validation runs
again per field and returns the results in an array so I can throw up an
error. This saves me from scripting individual validation rules or even
really applying them to many fields. Does that make sense? Its late, I
gotta get some sleep.
