Better form validation in Flex by vixiom

Aral Balkan shows a better way to display Flex form errors "If you tab around that example, you may notice that you are probably doing something wrong (as indicated by the red borders around the form items that begin to appear) but you have no idea what you're doing wrong. In order to find out, you have to mouse over the form field. Only then does a tooltip appear to tell you what the problem is. Needless to say, having the user switch input devices and exert additional effort in order to see a form validation error does not make for good ergonomics or usability. A better alternative is to actually display the error message beside the control. "
