참 flex는 하다보니 편한 함수가 꽤 있네요 
문자열의 수를 체크할 일이 개발하다보면 종종 있는데 보통 자바스크립트 함수로 처리하거나 했는데 
Flex에는 이걸 대비한 함수가 있네요 
일부러 만들지 마시구 있는거 쓰자구요 ^^
<mx:StringValidator
    maxLength="NaN" 
    minLength="NaN"

    tooShortError="This string is shorter than the minimum allowed length. This must be at least {0} characters long."
