Problem with Validating Form

programming flash
1

Basically I’ve racked my brain out wondering why Flash isn’t validating my form. It won’t even send to the server for processing. Any help, advice would greatly be appreciated.

[AS]//MY VALIDATION FUNCTIONS
function vEmail(){
if(formData.submit_by == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“You Must Fill In Your Email Address”);
return false;}
else{
if(formData.submit_by.indexOf(".",0) == -1 || formData.submit_by.indexOf("@",0) == -1){
errBox.setMessage(“Your Email Address Is Not In Correct Form”);
return false;}
else{
return true;}
}
}

function vfirstName(){
if (formData.first == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your first name”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vlastName(){
if (formData.last == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your last name”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vAddress(){
if (formData.address == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“You must enter a valid Address”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vCity(){
if (formData.city == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your city”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vState(){
if (formData.state == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your state”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vZip(){
if (formData.postal == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your zip code”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

//MY CLEAR ALL INPUT FIELDS FUNCTION FOR MY ‘CLEAR’ BUTTON
function clrData(){
this.formData.submit_by = “”;
this.email.text = “”;
this.formData.first = “”;
this.firstname.text = “”;
this.formData.last = “”;
this.lastname.text = “”;
this.formData.address = “”;
this.address.text = “”;
this.formData.apt= “”;
this.apartment.text = “”;
this.formData.city = “”;
this.city.text = “”;
this.formData.state = “”;
this.state.text = “”;
this.formData.postal = “”;
this.zip.text = “”;
}

//MY REPLY FUNCTION AFTER MESSAGE IS SUCCESSFULLY OR UNSUCCESSFULLY SENT
function myOnLoad(success){
errBox.setEnabled(true);
if(success){
errBox.setIcon(“info”);
errBox.setTitle(“Thank You”);
errBox.setMessage(“Thank You for joining the BCBG mailing list.”);
errBox._visible=true;
clrData();
}
else{
errBox.setIcon(“warning”);
errBox.setTitle(“System Error”);
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s an error occured while submitting. Please try again.”);
errBox._visible=true;
}
}

//MY SUBMIT FUNCTION TO SEND ALL INFORMATION TO MY SCRIPT SERVER SIDE
function goPostal(){
if(!vEmail()){errBox._visible=true;return;}
else{

if(!vfirstName()){errBox._visible=true;return;}
else{
		
if(!vlastName()){errBox._visible=true;return;)
else{

if(!vAddress()){errBox._visible=true;return;)
else{

if(!vCity()){errBox._visible=true;return;)
else{
					
if(!vState()){errBox._visible=true;return;)
else{
						
if(!vZip()){errBox._visible=true;return;)
	}
}
errBox.setIcon("info");
errBox.setTitle("Sending Mail");
errBox.setMessage("Your Email Is Being Submitted");
errBox._visible=true;
errBox.setEnabled(false);
formData.sendAndLoad("http://max.bcbg.com/js/flashmailscript.php", replyData, "post");

}[/AS]

never mind. :slight_smile: I figured it out. I had to write the if/else statements at the end as “else if” statements. Everything works now.
