hello everyone!!

Regarding the following code, (which is applied to a “submit” button),  
what code can i add so the email address will be validated. so a person filling the form has to at least provide an @ in the text box???

on (release) {  
if (Name eq “”) {  
\_root.Status = “Please enter your name”;  
} else if (Email eq “”) {  
\_root.Status = “Please enter valid email Address”;  
} else {  
Submit = “Yes”;  
NumHigh = 10;  
NumLow = 0;  
\_root.GuestBook = "Processing… Loading New… ";  
loadVariablesNum(“form.php”, 0, “POST”);  
\_root.Status = “Your entry has been submitted.”;  
Name = “”;  
Email = “”;  
Website = “”;  
Comments = “”;  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
}

thanks for all the help!!!  
s.t.
