RegExpValidator never matches
- by babyangel86
Hi,
I've got a class that's meant to validate input fields to make sure the value is always a decimal. I've tested the regex here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=validators_7.html, and it looks like it does the right thing, but in my app, I can't seem to get it to match to a number format.
Class Definition:
public class DecimalValidator {
//------------------------------- ATTRIBUTES
public var isDecimalValidator:RegExpValidator;
//------------------------------- CONSTRUCTORS
public function DecimalValidator() {
isDecimalValidator = new RegExpValidator();
isDecimalValidator.expression = "^-?(\d+\.\d*|\.\d+)$";
isDecimalValidator.flags = "g";
isDecimalValidator.required = true;
isDecimalValidator.property = "text";
isDecimalValidator.triggerEvent = FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT;
isDecimalValidator.noMatchError = "Float Expected";
}
}
Setting the source here:
public function registerDecimalInputValidator(inputBox:TextInput, valArr:Array):void {
// Add Validators
var dValidator:DecimalValidator = new DecimalValidator();
dValidator.isDecimalValidator.source = inputBox;
dValidator.isDecimalValidator.trigger = inputBox;
inputBox.restrict = "[0-9].\\.\\-";
inputBox.maxChars = 10;
valArr.push(dValidator.isDecimalValidator);
}
And Calling it here:
registerDecimalInputValidator(textInput, validatorArr);
Where textInput is an input box created earlier.
Clearly I'm missing something simple yet important, but I'm not entirely sure what! Any help would be much appreciated.
