使用errorString进行数据验证
如果Flex自带的验证组件无法满足要求，可用ActionScript自定义，errorString属性将以默认的红色边框和包括错误信息显示
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
   backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" width="300" height="150">
   <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
     private function validate():void{
       // check for length of 10
       if(myText.text.length < 10){
         // assign errorString to TextInput
         myText.errorString = "This field requires at least 100 characters";
       } else {
         // remove errorString
         myText.errorString = null;
       }
     }
     ]]>
   </mx:Script>
   <mx:Panel title="Simple AS Validate" width="210" height="75">
     <mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%" paddingLeft="3" paddingTop="3">
       <mx:TextInput id="myText" width="100"/>
       <mx:Button label="Validate" click="validate()" />
     </mx:HBox>
   </mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
