Need Help Creating a Simple Contact Form with basic validation needed

I have created a small application with three different slides.

one at frame 1 which acts as a Home page
one at frame 2 which acts as a Gallery page
one at frame 3 which acts as a Contact Page

On the contact page i have the following ‘skeleton’ code… which i have to follow…

// button for submitting form
submitBT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, subForm);
// function used to get data from form
function subForm (event:Event):void{

contactEmail = getEmail();

trace(“form submitted”);
}

// validate correct email e.g. contains @
function getEmail():String{

return emailAddress.text;

}
stop();

The instance names are as follows

name = person
email = emailAddress
message = message

i need basic validation such as text lentgh, and also correct email format (i.e. containing a ‘@’)

please can someone help with this i am pulling my hair out!
Apologies if it is realyl basic i am brand new to Flash and Actionscript and programming in general.
