PromptingTextInput

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a form with two formitems. Both using promptingtextinput. Provide
some value for prompt property.
2. Attach standard validator with minlength=1 to both formitems.
3. Add a submit button to execute validator.validate() on click event;
4. On execution, do not click on formitems, instead click on the submit
button. This should execute the validator methods.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The PromptingTextInput does not show a red border to highlight the error.
If I use the TextInput, it does properly. I believe the Prompting
functionality has changed the default behavior. 

Now try executing one more item. This time, click and tab through the
formitems without entering any data. The red border shows properly even
with the prompt value set to some string. So the Red Border isn't covered
by the prompting, but the default behavior has changed. Same issue with
PromptingTextArea.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FB3 / XP

Please provide any additional information below.

I was having a problem with binding to the text.  Text length was 0 until more 
than one character was typed.  
Fixed it be opening up the source and replaces get text with 

override public function get text():String
    {   
        // If the text has changed      
        if( super.text == _prompt )
        {
            // Skip the prompt text value
            return "";
        }
        else
        {
            return super.text;
        }       
    }

I have solved other problems related to the prompting components.
You can find the text area version here : 
http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/issues/detail?id=139#c9

Can you please check if you have the same problem with my patch ?
I can't currently do that...
