Question

I have create a form with the validator. Every time the code run to the label.text or function related to label.text the following error pop up. Is the following error mean the validator have bug or the default value of the label.text is wrong??

Answer 1

Note that the error says the property “Text” (with a capital T) is not found. The TextInput has a text property with a lowercase “t”.

It sounds like you have configured the Validator to verify the incorrect property name. That is, you’re doing this:

<mx:Validator source="{myTextInput} property="Text" />

When it should be this:

<mx:Validator source="{myTextInput} property="text" />
