This interface specifies the methods and properties that a Validator
object must implement.
This interface allows to validate multiple data
types like numbers, currency, phone numbers, zip codes etc that
are defined in both mx and spark namespaces. The classes
mx:Validator and spark:GlobaliationValidatorBase
implement this interface. The validateAll() method in these classes use
this interface type to call the validate() method on
multiple validator objects.
Performs validation and optionally notifies
the listeners of the result.

Setting this value to false will stop the validator
from performing validation.
When a validator is disabled, it dispatches no events,
and the validate() method returns null.
The default value is true.

Performs validation and optionally notifies
the listeners of the result.
Parameters
value:Object (default = null) — Optional value to validate.
If null, then the validator uses the source and
property properties to determine the value.
If you specify this argument, you should also set the
listener property to specify the target component
for any validation error messages.
suppressEvents:Boolean (default = false) — If false, then after validation,
the validator will notify the listener of the result.
Returns
ValidationResultEvent — A ValidationResultEvent object
containing the results of the validation.
For a successful validation, the
ValidationResultEvent.results Array property is empty.
For a validation failure, the
ValidationResultEvent.results Array property contains
one ValidationResult object for each field checked by the validator,
both for fields that failed the validation and for fields that passed.
Examine the ValidationResult.isError
property to determine if the field passed or failed the validation.
