[F8] Make sure the form is complete?

[jerryday]

Hi,

I am trying to make sure that all of the input boxes in a frame have something in them before I advance to the next frame.

Unfortunatly my syntax is bad and what I have come up with may not even work if the syntax is fixed. Here is my script which is on the send bytton (I know I am bad. It should be in a function)

Please take a look at this.

Thanks!

on (press) {
	
	vhost1.stopSpeech();
	
	//try to be sure we have something in every box
	if (accountNumber.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (accountNumber.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else (firstName.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (lastName.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (email.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (tech.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (locations.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (supplier.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (areaCode.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (prefix.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 else if (phone.text.length == 0)
		gotoAndStop (177);
		 
	
	
	
	QuerySent = "";
	gotoAndPlay(36);
	
	play();
}

A few different ways you could set this up...

one way:

if ((accountNumber.text.length == 0) | (firstName.text.length == 0) | ...etc...) {
	gotoAndStop(177);
	//generally a better idea to use frame labels in case you insert/remove frames
} else {
	QuerySent = "";
	gotoAndPlay(36);
	play();
}

Hope that helps!
