Well, unfortunately we don't have everything we need to make it work properly.
The biggest problem is length. Let's say you have a limit of 30 characters with a String value. The way the String class works is it counts Unicode code points. Unfortunately, many times (especially in languages like Arabic) it might take a dozen code points to make one character on the screen. This means that setting a limit of 30, would allow the user to type in 2 characters....

At least wheels coming from Adobe that is. @Michael - I was wondering about what exactly I'd have to hook into last night as I was reading GlobalizationValidatorBase, but it was 2 am and it was the first time I'd seen this class, my previous validators are MX. Did you ever figure out how it ties in? I'm going to mess with it some more tonight. -omar Notice: This transmission is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged or confidential.
