Re: FLASH: actionscript to validate email address, anyone?

[Torbj�rn Caspersen]

I found a validating javascript, here's the actionscript translation. It

assumes that sendto is the variabel containing an emailaddress.


teller is norwegian for counter, and tilbakemedling mean feedback, not

that it matters, but is perhaps clearifying for those who want to read the

code.


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "teller" = 1

      Loop While (teller <= length (sendto))

            If (substring (sendto, teller, 1) eq "@")

                  Set Variable: "apos" = teller

            End If

            Set Variable: "teller" = teller +1

      End Loop

      Set Variable: "teller" = 1

      Loop While (teller <= length (sendto))

            If (substring (sendto, teller, 1) eq ".")

                  Set Variable: "lastdot" = teller

            End If

            Set Variable: "teller" = teller +1

      End Loop

      If (apos<1 or lastdot-apos<2 or length (sendto)-lastdot >3 or length

(sendto)-lastdot < 2)

            Set Variable: "tilbakemelding" = "email address incorrect"

      Else

            Set Variable: "tilbakemelding" = " "

            Get URL ("http://send to parsing.cgi", window="_blank",

vars=POST)

      End If

End On
