StyleValidator

Package	com.adobe.fiber.styles
Class	public class StyleValidator
Inheritance	StyleValidator Validator EventDispatcher Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

A wrapper around mx.validators.Validator that enables runtime customization of the function used for validation, doValidation. The wrapper also sets the required flag on the wrapped validator to false as generated value objects perform required validation outside of the validators. Validators are used by styles to calculate validation expressions and for exposing built-in validators such as social security number, credit card number, email, and so forth.

Public Properties

	Property		Defined By
		constructor : Object A reference to the class object or constructor function for a given object instance.	Object
		enabled : Boolean Setting this value to false will stop the validator from performing validation.	Validator
		listener : Object Specifies the validation listener.	Validator
		property : String A String specifying the name of the property of the source object that contains the value to validate.	Validator
		required : Boolean = true If true, specifies that a missing or empty value causes a validation error.	Validator
		requiredFieldError : String Error message when a value is missing and the required property is true.	Validator
		source : Object Specifies the object containing the property to validate.	Validator
		trigger : IEventDispatcher Specifies the component generating the event that triggers the validator.	Validator
		triggerEvent : String Specifies the event that triggers the validation.	Validator

Protected Properties

	Property		Defined By
		actualListeners : Array [read-only] Contains an Array of listener objects, if any, or the source object.	Validator
		actualTrigger : IEventDispatcher [read-only] Contains the trigger object, if any, or the source object.	Validator
		resourceManager : IResourceManager [read-only] A reference to the object which manages all of the application's localized resources.	Validator

Public Methods

	Method		Defined By
		StyleValidator(validationFunction:Function) Default constructor.	StyleValidator
		addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void Registers an event listener object with an EventDispatcher object so that the listener receives notification of an event.	EventDispatcher
		dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean Dispatches an event into the event flow.	EventDispatcher
		hasEventListener(type:String):Boolean Checks whether the EventDispatcher object has any listeners registered for a specific type of event.	EventDispatcher
		hasOwnProperty(name:String):Boolean Indicates whether an object has a specified property defined.	Object
		initialized(document:Object, id:String):void Called automatically by the MXML compiler when the Validator is created using an MXML tag.	Validator
		isPrototypeOf(theClass:Object):Boolean Indicates whether an instance of the Object class is in the prototype chain of the object specified as the parameter.	Object
		propertyIsEnumerable(name:String):Boolean Indicates whether the specified property exists and is enumerable.	Object
		removeEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false):void Removes a listener from the EventDispatcher object.	EventDispatcher
		setPropertyIsEnumerable(name:String, isEnum:Boolean = true):void Sets the availability of a dynamic property for loop operations.	Object
		toLocaleString():String Returns the string representation of this object, formatted according to locale-specific conventions.	Object
		toString():String Returns the string representation of the specified object.	Object
		validate(value:Object = null, suppressEvents:Boolean = false):ValidationResultEvent Performs validation and optionally notifies the listeners of the result.	Validator
		validateAll(validators:Array):Array [static] Invokes all the validators in the validators Array.	Validator
		valueOf():Object Returns the primitive value of the specified object.	Object
		willTrigger(type:String):Boolean Checks whether an event listener is registered with this EventDispatcher object or any of its ancestors for the specified event type.	EventDispatcher

Protected Methods

	Method		Defined By
		addListenerHandler():void Sets up all of the listeners for the valid and invalid events dispatched from the validator.	Validator
		doValidation(value:Object):Array [override] Executes the validation logic of this validator, including validating that a missing or empty value causes a validation error as defined by the value of the required property.	StyleValidator
		getValueFromSource():Object Returns the Object to validate.	Validator
		handleResults(errorResults:Array):ValidationResultEvent Returns a ValidationResultEvent from the Array of error results.	Validator
		isRealValue(value:Object):Boolean Returns true if value is not null.	Validator
		removeListenerHandler():void Disconnects all of the listeners for the valid and invalid events dispatched from the validator.	Validator
		resourcesChanged():void This method is called when a Validator is constructed, and again whenever the ResourceManager dispatches a "change" Event to indicate that the localized resources have changed in some way.	Validator
