Product Version :

Flex 3

Runtime Versions :

Override of the base class doValidation() method to validate an e-mail address.

You do not call this method directly; Flex calls it as part of performing a validation. If you create a custom Validator class, you must implement this method.

Parameters

value:Object — Either a String or an Object to validate.

Returns

Array — An Array of ValidationResult objects, with one ValidationResult object for each field examined by the validator.

validateEmail

method

public static function validateEmail(validator:EmailValidator, value:Object, baseField:String):Array

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 3

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Convenience method for calling a validator from within a custom validation function. Each of the standard Flex validators has a similar convenience method.

Parameters

	`validator:EmailValidator` — The EmailValidator instance.

	`value:Object` — A field to validate.

	`baseField:String` — Text representation of the subfield specified in the value parameter. For example, if the `value` parameter specifies value.email, the `baseField` value is "email".

Returns

Array — An Array of ValidationResult objects, with one ValidationResult object for each field examined by the validator.
