Question

Is there any component that does handle validation errors similarly to ASP.NET’s ValidationSummary control in flex? (See screenshot)

Component should really only display all the errors for the validator it watches.

I’m convinced I already used it but I was unable to find it anywhere in the doc.

Well, I achieved the results I was expecting with a bit of work.

Sharing in the event that somebody has the same needs that I had ;-):

• Made a component that overrides validationResultHandler and manages validation errors
• Made sure that all the validators that had to be shown in the component had their listener property set to the component’s instance

And thats pretty much it.

<my:ValidationView id="vv" />

<mx:StringValidator listener="{vv}" ... />
<mx:Validator listener="{vv}" ... />
