Creating the Actionscript

1. Open the actions tab for the send button (modify >Instance >actions)
2. Create the following code:

   On (Release)
       If (txtName ne "" and txtCompany ne "" and txtPosition ne "" and txtFrom ne "" and txtmessage ne "")
           Load Variables ("cdontsMail.asp", 0, vars=POST) 
           Go to and Play ("valid")
       Else
           Go to and Play ("invalid")
       End If
   End On 
   

   NB: Look at the .fla file for a better idea of how this is done.

What we've done:
We have created an action script which checks whether all variables (text fields) have a value. If they do (If txtName ne (does not equal) "" (nothing)) the actionscript tells Flash to send their values to a page called cdontsMail.asp and play the valid 'screen'. If any variable does not have a value (ie: the text field is empty) the actionscript simply sais go and play the invalid 'screen'
