need help to get an input textfield email validation

[CCESCA]

Hi,

I followed Senocular's tuorial rom Kirupa to be able to send a form thru email in flash, it worked (which is great, since i also followed about 100 far more complicated ones i found on the web wich did not work!) but i need some help including an email validation element...i think its targetting the correct textfield variables i'm having a problem with, but i took all my efforts out of the attached files and now just have the functioning regular version and am awaiting some help...i have been at this for almost a week!!!

Ive attached a zip of my .fla and the php script.

Many many many thanks in advance,

sleeepy :2c: :diss: :z:

take a look at this. It is a function that checks the syntax of a given string and validates wether it is an email or not.

thanks vevmesteren,

of course i will endeavour to comprehend teh code that i dwnloaded from th elink you offered, but its a little confusing...i wonder if you would mind taking a look at the attached files, and seeing if you can see why when i combine the two codes, to try and get the email validadted before calling the php file, it doesnt communicate with the php file..

they work seperately.... (i.e the file with JUST validate email, and teh file wich JUST calls the php file).

thanks in advance,
