Greetings!

I have a small issue with my code… basically I have a contact form…(using the kirupa form tutorial) and I want AS to check if the “email” variable has a value when I press my “submit” button.

If it does then it should do the php post and goto the next frame.

This is what I have so far:

```auto
on (release) {
	if (cform.email = "") {

		cform.email = "Please enter your Email Address!";
	} else {
		cform.loadVariables("contact.php","POST");
	}
	this.nextFrame();
}

```

Currently when I press submit it just goes to the next frame and sends the mail. ☹

Any help would be so appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
