Field contains @

hi,

Does anybody know how i can do this:

I have a inputfield named : email
When that field is empty you get a error that says to fill in your email. that works. But now i want it checks the inputfield if it contains a “@”

i have now this AS:

on (release) {
    if (email == "@") {
        gotoAndStop("end");
    } else {
        var o = schoen_mc.attachMovie("error-mail", "error-mail", 7);
        o._x = 590.0;
        o._y = 240.0;
    }
}

but that doesn’t work. :frowning: or do i need another symbool instead of ==
