Ok, basically i have an email form that does this:

- Validates fields if they are not filled in and displays error
- Sends email if it is filled

But… before i put the validator on, it went to a success message, but now it doesn’t.

All that you do is fill in name, email, telephone and message and click submit and it emails 😃

Attached is the FLA, if anyone could explain how and why this wont work id be grateful.

Ok heres the code…

Form Movie Clip

```auto

onClipEvent(data){
	gotoAndStop(2);
}

```

Actions Frame

```auto
stop();
form.name="";
form.email="";
form.phone="";
form.message="";

```

Submit Button

```auto
on (release) {
	if(form.name == "" ){
		gotoAndStop(3);
	}
	if(form.email == "" ){
		gotoAndStop(3);
	}
	if(form.phone == "" ){
		gotoAndStop(3);
	}
	
	else {
		form.loadVariables("booking_submit.php","POST");
	}
}

```
