I’m assuming you want Flash to do the validation. I’d suggest searching the Flash forums for “form validation”. This topic has been covered many times.

I’ll move this over here since you’ll get a better response in the Flash forums.,

Like I said if you search you will find a ton of threads regarding this.

I guess if you refuse to search…

```auto

someButton.onPress = function(){
if(myText.text){ // myText is instance name of textfield
//proceed to php
}else{
trace("error");
}

```
