Send button code error

I have a contact us page and I put this code for it. I also have a submit button which when clicked should submit the text fields.
I get an error saying:
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before eq.

I do not understand how to fix this problem :(

Here is my code:

Code:

---

submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submit);

function submit(event:MouseEvent) {
if (message eq "" or email eq "") {
stop ();
} else {
loadVariablesNum ("form.php", 0, "POST");
gotoAndPlay("thanks");
}
}

---

Thanks in advance,
SK

Code:

---

function submit(event:MouseEvent)
{
        if (message == "" || email == "")
        {
                stop();
        }
        else
        {
                loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
                gotoAndPlay("thanks");
        }
}

Sorry, I still seem to have the same problem. Please take a look at my file and let me know :)

well, like i said use:

Code:

---

if (message == "" || email == "")

---

then the 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before eq. goes away.
however a lot of other errors are also in the file.

yes I did notice that, so how can I get rid of those errors?

Okay I googled and researched a lot. This is my code now (i changed message to mes as well as the instance. I made various other changes also):

Code:

---

submit.onRelease = function() {
        if(mes.text == ""||email.text == "")
        {
                stop();
        }
        else
        {
                loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
                gotoAndPlay("thanks");
        }
}

Now I only have one problem.
Error: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method loadVariablesNum.

After researching, it turns out this is for AS2. I need to change this to be AS3. Lots of people seem to have said to use a URLLoader, but I don't really know how to use it.

Can I get some help with this?

Thanks in advance,

I looked at the livedocks, but couldn't really implement it in my code.
Is it possible you can edit my code to best help me? :)

Thanks,
