programming flash
1

Hi Guys,

I have created an email from in flash and php, but i would like it to have error fields.

So if somebody doesn’t type a @ in the email field it will say

“Please provide a valid email address”

And the same type of idea for the Name and Comments filed.

But, I dont now how to do this. Would anybody be kind enough to help me?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Kax,

I would just like an error message to appear on the form if the user types nothing in at all, and if they dont type in an @ and . in the email field

So there is an error message for each field:

Please enter your name
Please enter a valid email address
and
Please leave some comments

Thanks

Here’s something quick… I have to go. :-
[AS]checkForm = function () {
var error;
if (!name_txt.length) {
name_txt.text = “Please enter your name”;
error = true;
}
if (!email_txt.length || email_txt.text.indexOf("@")<1 || email_txt.text.indexOf(".")<3) {
email_txt.text = “Please enter a valid email address”;
error = true;
}
if (!comments_txt.length) {
comments_txt.text = “Please leave some comments”;
error = true;
}
return !error;
};
form_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (checkForm()) {
mail_lv = new LoadVars();
mail_lv.msg = comments_txt.text;
mail_lv.name = name_txt.text;
mail_lv.email = email_txt.text;
mail_lv.send(“form.php”);
}
};[/AS]

Nope… I’m not a big fan of instant messaging.

Thats very wierd,

What are the reasons for it saying “Error” when the email sends?
