is an integer (specified by domain),
is non-negative (specified by allowNegative),
and does not exceed the specified precision.
The validator correctly validates formatted numbers (e.g., "12,345.67")
and you can customize the thousandsSeparator and
decimalSeparator properties for internationalization.

| NumberValidator | () | Constructor |
public function NumberValidator()
Constructor.
| doValidation | () | method |
protected override function doValidation(value:Object):Array
Override of the base class doValidation() method
to validate a number.
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 — Object to validate.
|
Array — An Array of ValidationResult objects, with one ValidationResult
object for each field examined by the validator.
|
| validateNumber | () | method |
public static function validateNumber(validator:NumberValidator, value:Object, baseField:String):Array
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:NumberValidator — The NumberValidator 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.number,
the baseField value is "number".
|
Array — An Array of ValidationResult objects, with one ValidationResult
object for each field examined by the validator.
