Hello, Does anyone know what code to use for the Flash PHP e-mail tutorial by Senocular to make required fields when submitting? I don’t know if I’m posting this in the right section since the code may go either in Flash or the PHP part. The Flash PHP e-mail form works great and I’ve been using it but recently people have been abusing it by repeatedly hitting “Submit” so I get a whole bunch of blank e-mails since there is no “required field” function when hitting the “Submit” button. If anyone could help by giving me the code and where to insert it, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

Just insert an if/else conditional to check that the required fields != ‘’ before you call the send or sendAndLoad or loadVariables method.
