Hi guys, I’ve a problem, I’ve a form in flash, built with Input Text Fields, my Variables are:

Nombres  
Apellidos  
Empresa  
Telefono  
Email  
Ciudad  
Comentarios

and I want to validate all the fields before somebody submits the button, how I can do this?

thanks!

maybe you can check the input in the button like:

somebutton\_bnt.onRelease = function(){  
if(Nombres == “”){  
trace(“please give your name”);  
}elseif(Apellidos == “”){  
trace(“please give your ??? last name?”);  
//repeat the elseif for every field  
} else {  
trace(“the form was OK, submit”);  
}  
}

thanks a lot, based in your example, I’m doing this:

envio\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
if(Nombres == “”){  
alert\_txt=“please give your name”;  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay(“accion”);  
}  
}  
but in the Output panel I’m with this message:

**Error** Scene=main, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 5: Statement must appear within on handler  
envio\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

why is this happening?

Thanks dude
