property.
- #####-####
- ##### ####
- #####
- ### ### (Canadian)
A six-digit number must be supplied for a six-digit mask. If you use a five-digit or a nine-digit mask, you can use either a five-digit or a nine-digit number for formatting.
If an error occurs, an empty String is returned and a String that
describes the error is saved to the error
property.
The error
property can have one of the following values:
-
"Invalid value"
means an invalid numeric value is passed to theformat()
method. The value should be a valid number in the form of a Number or a String, except for Canadian postal code, which allows alphanumeric values, or the number of digits does not match the allowed digits from theformatString
property. -
"Invalid format"
means any of the characters in theformatString
property do not match the allowed characters specified in thevalidFormatChars
property, or the number of numeric placeholders does not equal 9, 5, or 6.

The <mx:ZipCodeFormatter>
tag
inherits all of the tag attributes of its superclass,
and adds the following tag attributes:
<mx:ZipCodeFormatter formatString="#####|#####-####|### ###" />
