Please help with my email validation in flash!

[dbh_21]

Trying to get the email validation working so it detects correct sytax... ANy ideas?
Thanks in advance:



email_txt.restrict = "a-z_.@0-9";
email_txt.maxChars = 40;

status_txt.text = '';

submit_btn.onRelease = function()
{
var email = email_txt.text;

// are all the fields filled?
if (email == '') {
status_txt.text = "Enter Your Email";
return;
}


// yes, all fields filled
sendEmail(email);

// sending data...
status_txt.text = "Processing...";

// prevent submitting again by disabling the button
this.enabled = true;
};


function sendEmail(email)
{
var myData = new LoadVars();

myData.email = email;

myData.onLoad = function(ok) {
if (ok) {
status_txt.text = this.message;
} else {
status_txt.text = "Try Again Later";
}
submit_btn.enabled = true;
};

myData.sendAndLoad('contactform.php', myData, 'POST');
}

try something like this

//set your email varable
Email = your email variable;

//if it's a correct email, then send it
if (!Email.length || Email.indexOf("@") == -1 || Email.indexOf(".") == -1) {

//it's got a problem, show an error message here


} else {


// it's correct, do your sending stuff here


}
