Flash :: Using Actionscript To Validate Email Address'?

Validate An Email Address
Hello

I am using this to validate email addresses and it does not seem to work:

} else if (!email_txt.length || email_txt.indexOf("@") == -1 || email_txt.indexOf(".") == -1) {
status_txt.text = "Invalid Email.";

I would, in any case, prefer to use the following server script for validation purposes:

<%
'Email
re.Pattern = "^w+@w+.w+"
If Not re.Test(email) Then
errorArray(1) = "red"
ErrorMsg = ErrorMsg & "<center>Please type in a valid email address</center>"
end if
%>

If I use this server script, how do I begin to show it in my movie, please? What Action Script do I use to 'pull it in' from the server and show it?

Many thanks

Steve

Best Practice To Validate An Email Address?
Hi ppl,

I'm trying to define the requirments for email address validation. From what I have now I know I need to check to see if it contains the "@" and the presence of a dot. However, I'm sure there is some sort of function that does a more reliable validation. I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on the matter.

Cheers,

McMurphy

Validate An Email And Do 2 Actions Based On Validation
I need to validate an email address, one simple textfield in a flash file...If the email address is valid you I need a GetUrl function pointing to a php page that processes the form, if the email address is not valid I need to jump to a scene in the flash movie that says "Please enter a valid..."

Can I just modify this actionscript to work? Please Help?

on (release) {
if (email.indexOf(" ") != -1 || email.indexOf("@") == -1 || email.indexOf(".") == -1 ||email.length<6||email.lastIndexOf(".")<email.ind exOf("@")) {
show = "Error";
} else {
show = "Correct";
}
}

Help Modifying This Script To Validate 2 Email Input Fields
Hi,

I have a script that i have been using for some time now to add a subscriber functionality to my sites. It consists of an input text field for an email address, and a submit button. When the submit button is pressed, the input text field is checked for valid email address syntax, and if its true, the user goes to the next frame where there is a thankyou message, and if its false, a text saying 'please make sure you entered a valid email' is made visible. There is also a reset button clearing the input field.

I did not write the script myself (((shame))). I am now trying to use this same script as a 'tell-a-friend' script, and so all I really want to do is have 2 input text fields checked for correct email syntax input, but I'm confused as to how to modify the code...I have tried a bunch of stuff.....

Below is the original script and I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out here. The ONLY modifcation I have made so far is to add a second input text field and called it 'email2', and made the default for that input field empty......

Many Many Thanks in advance!!

Cheska

CODE:

stop();
// Making the default setting for below mentioned textfields
email1 = " ";
email2 = " ";
//
//-------------------------------------------------------
// Submit Button action
submit.onRelease = function() {
//Add Path of the php file
feedbackpath = "form/mailto.php";
//
str1 = email1.indexOf("@");
str2 = email1.indexOf("@")+1;
str3 = email1.charAt(str1+1);
str4 = email1.lastIndexOf(".");
str5 = email1.charAt(str4+1);
len = length(email1);
counter = 1;
flag = 0;
while (Number(counter)<=Number(len)) {
Char = substring(email1, counter, 1);
if (Char ne "@") {
flag = Number(flag)+1;
}
counter = Number(counter)+1;
}
//E-Mail Address validation
if (str4<=str2 || str3 == "." || str5 == "" || Number(flag) != Number(len-1)) {
condition2 = "";
emailmark._visible = true;
} else {
condition2 = "ok";
emailmark._visible = false;
}

if (condition2 == "ok") {
loadVariablesNum(feedbackpath+"?name="+name+"&emai l1="+email1+"&feedback="+suggestion, 0);
gotoAndStop(2);
}
};
//
//-------------------------------------------------------
// Reset Button action
reset.onRelease = function() {
// Making the default setting for below mentioned textfields
email1 = " ";
// Making '*' Marks Invisible
emailmark._visible = false;
};

Actionscript Will Not Validate Buttons?
Hi All,
I am new here and wondering if anyone can help me?
I can send a preliminary test FLA file that I have started for reference to anyone who can help.

Problem 1:
I have a navigation that already has a code attached to it and I can not get the code to evaluate the button status properly. Meaning if I select onRelease, onRollover, onRollout, the buttons do not return to their normal state. The buttons only remain in the "down" or onRelease state.

Problem 2:
The images are attached movies.
I would like to preload all images with a preloader.
The images would appear onRollover and onRelease would remain until another onRolover button is selected.

Here is a partial code:
//---------------------------------------------------------
// goFrameOne function
//---------------------------------------------------------
function goFrameOne(n) {
nw = eval("_level1.navAll_mcA"+n);
for (i in navAll_mcA) {
if (navAll_mcA[i] != nw) {
navAll_mcA[i].gotoAndStop(1);
if (navAll_mcA[i] == sound_mc && _root.soundPlay == false) {
navAll_mcA[i].gotoAndStop("down");
}
}
}
}

The function will not validate the buttons because the buttons do not reside on the same root level. The buttons are actually located in another movie entitled "nav.navAll_mcA". Meaning "nav" is holding the "navAll_mcA clip.

I am not sure if this is all clear please let me know if I would need to clarify further.

Any help would be kindly appreciated...

Form To Email Address
I have an swf file, that is loaded (loadmovie) into another swf file. I am wondering how I can make a form submit the users email address (for mailing list) I have it all created, tried about 3 different types, both cgi & asp, and no luck at all. I would appreciate help, because I really need to get this working.

Thanks!

Email Address Submission?
I have an swf file (flashbottom.swf) which is loaded into main.swf. It all loads and everything, and in flashbottom.swf I have a form for mailing list. All they have to enter is their email address then press the submit button. For some reason, it just won't work! I've tried many different tutorials and open source, still no luck. I'd appreciate any help!

P.S. I don't want a mailing list script, just something that sends to my email, because I would like to add addresses manually

[F8] Linking Email Address To Another
Okay, so I know how to make a button that opens up a user's email application with the email address already loaded and ready to send.

What I want to do, is take that email address (the email address I made up for the site I'm working on, lets say "email@working.com") and have it automatically forward to a different email address/account that the user would be unaware of.

This is possible right?

URLRequest With Email Address
I'm assembling a form that is going to be processed by someone else. They told me to change the "action" field of the form (which I'm sending via URLRequestMethod.Post) to an email address instead of the script file they were using. They said they could take the raw POST data and process it as needed.

Assuming this is true, is the syntax just:
URLRequest("name@domain.com");
or do I need to put in a "mailto" or something else because it's an email address instead of a regular URL? Or use some other function?

Thanks,

Bob

Email To Certiain Address
This is what I would like to do. I have a flash movie, which will be on the internet, and I have a textbox and a "submit" button. When you type some information into the textbox and hit 'submit' flash automatically emails you the information. I want to do this because: not all people have out look, so if I use the mailto: function it wouldn't work.
Is there any way possible for flash to achieve this?

Email Address Grabber
I'm looking for a cut-and-paste solution or a nice tutorial on how to set up a simple email-grabbing operation using an input text field and the Push Button component.

Maybe I'm a bonehead, but this has proven to be a slightly daunting challenge.

Would it be easier to do this simply with an input field and a regular old button instead of the component?

thanks!!

Verify Email Address - Help
Hi all,

Im trying to create a form in actiocsript that verifies correct user input before submitting. So far I have the form checking that NewEmail contains characters, an "@" symbol and a "." symbol.

However is there code that can check that the layout of the email is correct before submitting i.e. <"sometext"@"sometext"."sometext">

Also I need to insert a seperate name verifier to check that there are no numbers included in a text box.

This is my code so far:

_global.detailsCheck = function() {
if ( _root.NewEmail.length == 0 | _root.NewEmail.length == "" | _root.NewEmail eq "") {
// Alerts the user that their password is incorrect
_root.Guide2 = "Please Fill All Detail Fields";
// Stops the movie from going to the next frame
stop();
} else if (_root.NewEmail.indexOf("@") == -1) {
_root.Guide2 = "Please Give A Valid Email Address";
stop();
} else if (_root.NewEmail.indexOf(".") == -1) {
_root.Guide2 = "Please Give A Valid Email Address";
stop();
} else {
//submit details
gotoAndPlay ("ExitFrame");
}
}

Any help would be much appreciated...
