The Validator.enabled property lets you enable and disable a validator. When the value of the enabled property is true, the validator is enabled; when the value is false, the validator is disabled. When a validator is disabled, it dispatches no events, and the validate() method returns null.
For example, you can set the enabled property using data binding, as the following code shows:
Code Samples:
<?xml version=”1.0″?> <!– validators\EnableVal.mxml –> <mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”> <mx:ZipCodeValidator id=”zcVal” source=”{inputA}” property=”text” required=”true” enabled=”{enableV.selected}”/> <mx:TextInput id=”inputA”/> <mx:TextInput/> <mx:CheckBox id=”enableV” label=”Validate input?”/> </mx:Application> (In this example, you enable the validator only when the user selects the CheckBox control.)
