FLASH - validating input fields if empty before clicking submit button

[kyutkb]

hi there..

i have a question about flash.. i'm using flash CS3 and i don't know if it really matters. here goes my question:

whenever i run to test this on first instance(see below action script), the first statement is bypassed. it would still go to the "thank you.." frame, when all i wanted to do was to prevent the submit button to send a blank field (e.g company, contact, email & product) which is mandatory in my form to be filled-up. below is my code.

// When the button is clicked and if any of the fields listed are empty display the message.
on (release) {
if (company eq "" || contact eq "" || email eq "" || product eq "") {
message = "Please fill in all mandatory fields";
//otherwise process the form and go to frame 11 "thank you for your inquiry"
} else {
loadVariablesNum("process.php", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop(11);

if someone out there could help, it is much appreciated.. thanks!

This was happening with a few other people as well, we are still attempting to figure it out.

I'll keep looking for an answer.

Really? (i thought it was only me.. hehehe) But how come those people using flash in their websites doesn't have problems with their forms? But thanks anyways..

That is what I am trying to figure out. I personally don't use flash contact forms in my stuff. :-)
