Thanks

I’ve discovered a solution in the meantime. Instead of using validators,e.g. extending my CustomValidator from Validator, I’m now manually setting up the Tooltips.

Check out this website:
http://blog.flexmonkeypatches.com/2007/09/17/using-the-flex-tooltip-manager-to-create-error-tooltips-and-position-them/

In case, the website goes offline, here’s a short sample code:

public class ValidatedTextInput extends TextInput
{
protected var errorTip:ToolTip;
public setToolTip():void
{
errorTip = ToolTipManager.createToolTip(”",0,0) as ToolTip;
model.bindProperty(errorTip,”text”,”register.secretanswer”);
}
…
}

That way, the tooltip text will update on language change

The downside of this approach is having to manually deal with the events and such. Since, the default behavior of FLEX’ validators isn’t that nice, you might end up altering this anyway.

thank you very much for your explanations and the code. I’m new to FLEX and have one question / problem though.

I set up custom validators for my textinputs. The ValidationResults do not update correctly using the AS binding as following:

var valid:ValidationResult = new ValidationResult(true, null);
dictionaryAS.bindProperty(valid, “errorMessage”, “register.secretanswer”);

A workaround would be to validate all respective textinputs on a language change, but I feel this is a dirty way. Do you have any suggestions why this problem occurs and how to fix it?

Thanks again, for your effort and openness.

you’re right, some of the code had become lost, so i replaced the large section of code in the middle with a zipped download, much safer. thanks for the heads up

if (childID.length() == 1){
childName = _camelCase( [childName, childID.toString()] );
}

what is _camelCase?

The apps i've made using this method are kind of massive and belong (IP-wise) to other organisations anyway, so i'm not really able to email to anyone and everyone. If there's any part of this tutorial that's not too clear just let me know and i'll try to rewrite that bit to make it clearer.

Thanks
