Emial Form Trouble

Hi All!

I am trying to get my validation scripting for my emial form to work, but with no success. I have 4 input fields - name, email, contact and message. Then I have an dynamic text box which displays the "validations" called info. The scripting on my submit button is as follows:

on (press, release) {
//
if (name == "") {
nameValid = false;
}
if (email == "") {
emailValid = false;
}
if (contact == "") {
contactValid = false;
}
if (email == "" || email.indexOf("@") == -1 || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
emailValid = false;
}
if (message == "") {
messageValid = false;
}
//
if (nameValid && emailValid && contactValid && messageValid) {
loadVariables("contact.php",'GET');
message="";
name="";
email="";
contact="";
info="Thank you, I will contact you shortly.";
} else {
if (!nameValid) {
info = "Please enter your Name and Surname";
} else if (!emailValid) {
info = "Please enter a valid Email address";
} else if (!contactValid) {
info = "Please enter your Contact number";
} else if (!messageValid) {
info = "Please enter your message.";
}
}
}

Any help will be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Esmarilda

So in your if statemant if this name,emial,...and etc is some kind of textfield dynamic or input u must put
if(name.text == "")
{
nameValid=true;
}
because when you write if(name=="") the action was check the instance name of name try with trace to see what is result.

Thanx Niki ...
I edited the scripting a bit ... But still no luck ... maybe i'm missing something. The code is now as follows:

on (release) {
NameValid = true;
ContactValid = true;
MessageValid=true;
//
Name = name.text;
Email = email.text;
Contact = contact.text;
Message = message.text;
//
if (Name == "") {
NameValid = false;
}
if (Email == "") {
EmailValid = false;
}
if (Contact == "") {
ContactValid = false;
}
if (Email == "" || Email.indexOf("@") == -1 || Email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
EmailValid = false;
}
if (Message == "") {
MessageValid = false;
}
//
if (NameValid && EmailValid && ContactValid && MessageValid) {
loadVariables("contact.php",'GET');
message="";
name="";
email="";
contact="";
info="Thank you, I will contact you shortly.";
} else {
if (!NameValid) {
info = "Please enter your Namee and Surname";
} else if (!EmailValid) {
info = "Please enter a valid Email address";
} else if (!ContactValid) {
info = "Please enter your Contact number";
} else if (!MessageValid) {
info = "Please enter your message.";
}
}
}

So i think they your script has very unduly lines.Try with this one just change in if statement length of the fields.Also i see you want to send data with GET method this is the right way with .load or with sendAndLoad() :)

on(press) {
if (Name.text.length<4) {
trace("Name length field");
} else if (Email.text.length<4) {
trace("Email length faild");
} else if (Contact.text.length<4) {
trace("Contact length faild");
} else if (Email.text.indexOf("@") == -1 || Email.text.indexOf(".") == -1) {
trace("Incorect email");
} else {
var myLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoad.load("send.php?Name="+Name+"&Email="+Email+"&Contact="+Contact);
}
};
