adobe flex user input must contain a "/" character - apache-flex

In my project I have an user input, the first 4 characters should be number, and the fifth character must be /, is there a way to control this?
I am using Adobe Flash builder 4.6. I only know use restrict for number input.
EDIT1:
After following Timofei's solution, I modified my source code as followings, but it not take effect, only notifying user "This field is required". Whatever I input in the textbox, no warning there, is it some wrong with my code?

You can use RegExpValidator.

Display data properties of ItemRenderer

I have this ItemRenderer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I'd like to see the properties of data object when typing . since its a custom object. How can I see them?
data is suppose to be a User class object.
Try this
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import yourPackage.User;
[Bindable]
private var user:User;
override public function set data(value:Object):void{
super.data = value;
user = data as User;
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:HGroup verticalAlign="middle">
<s:Button label="{user.Nome} ({user.Rating})" width="150" height="35"/>
<s:Button label="{user.Estado}" width="150" height="30"/>
</s:HGroup>
Either as Юрий Борыс said or you could also cast data as User:
<s:Button label="{User(data).Nome} ({User(data).Rating})" width="150" height="35"/>

flex: how to validating multiple required fields

I can validating only one filed.

Use Validator.validateAll() function to get the validity of each field and then check if the returned array is empty.

How can I do simple text input math calculations in flash-builder?

2 - input in a view an the result in other

I have a few suggestions, but I'm not sure exactly what your problem is.
First, use the restrict attribute on your TextArea. The restrict attribute will prevent people from entering non-numeric keys. Sort of like this:
<s:TextInput id="datot_val" width="164" height="60" fontFamily="_sans"
fontSize="28" textAlign="center" softKeyboardType="number" restrict="0-9"/>
It's entirely possible that the use of the softKeyboardType makes this a non-issue if you're using a mobile application on a device that supports it.
The line of code you mentioned in the comments looks to be error prone:
NumberFormatter(TextArea(Primul_val))==NumberFormatter(TextInput(datot))+NumberFormatter(TextInput(disp));
First, datot and disp are Labels; not TextInputs. They have hard coded non-numeric values. I think you want to use datot_val and disp_val. which are TextInputs. Since they are already inputs you do not need to cast them as such.
Second you do not need to cast the TextInput as a NumberFormatter. You would not usually use a NumberFormatter as a static class, but rather create an instance of it. More info on NumberFormatter here.
So, I believe your line would be rewritten like this:
Primul_val.text== String(
int(datot.text) + int(disp.text)
);
I added some extra lines so the parenthesis wouldn't get confused.
I take the input of datot (AKA datot.text) and cast it as an int. I take the input of disp (disp.text) and cast that as an int. I add the two together and convert them both to a String. The string is stored in the text value of Primul_val.
Does that help clear anything up?

Why do children of my popup panel appear outside of the panel

I am using the flex 4 popup manager to popup a panel, but the children of the panel are not staying inside the panel. But when i close the popup the children are being removed.
Like this: (sorry i can't post pics)

Anybody know why? Here's my code:
var forgotPopup:Panel = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, forgottenForm, true) as Panel;
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(forgotPopup);
And here's what i'm popping up:

Any help on this would be brilliant, thanks.
Try to use the following:

<s:Button id="cancelButton" label="Cancel" skinClass="ButtonSkin"/>

If you need to have header word wrapped you should reject standard FormHeading and replace it with Label:

</fx:Script>
<mx:Form left="10" right="10" top="10" bottom="10">
<s:Label width="100%" text="Please enter your e-mail address and your login details will be e-mailed to you" fontWeight="bold" />

<s:Button id="okButton" label="Submit" skinClass="ButtonSkin" />
<s:Button id="cancelButton" label="Cancel" skinClass="ButtonSkin"/>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</s:Panel>
But the best way is to switch to Spark Form which is available since Flex 4.5.
Please Avoid X and Y position

Flex: Call function from included component

This is similar to my previous posting. But this time I want to call a function that exists on the main mxml page.

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function changeText(currentText:String):void{
switch (currentText){
case "changeText":
lblOne.text = "More Text";
}
}

<mx:MenuBar width="380" height="58"></mx:MenuBar>
<mx:Button x="10" y="10" width="80" label="Show" id="btnOne" click="this.showLabel=true;" />

<mx:Button x="181" y="10" width="80" label="Run Function" id="btnThree" click="{changeText('changeText')}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
How do I call the changeText function from the button on menu.mxml?
Add this to menu:
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="buttonClicked", type="flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
<mx:Button x="10" y="10" width="80" label="Show" id="btnOne" click="this.showLabel=true;dispatchEvent(new Event("buttonClicked"));"/>
Change main to:
<ns1:menu id="buttons" buttonClicked="changeText("Your Text");">
I couldn't tell where current text is coming from but if it is from menu you may have to build your own custom flex event or create a common variable for the two parts to access. The first is usually preferred.
P.S. The event metadata thing could also be achieved by adding the event listener when the creation of the application completes. You would add to main:
buttons.addEventListener("buttonClicked",changeText("Your Text"));
there is a simpler way, just use parentDocument.
Change this:
<mx:Button x="181" y="10" width="80" label="Run Function" id="btnThree" click="{changeText('changeText')}"/>
to:
<mx:Button x="181" y="10" width="80" label="Run Function" id="btnThree" click="{parentDocument*.changeText('changeText')}"/>**
