ActionScript Email Validation

Posted by Helmut | Filed under Flash Bits

Sooner or later you will face with the small quest of validating an email address for your flash application. The following script is a basic script and should not be used for websites that relay heavily on the email address is being requested (shopping carts, credit card transactions and so forth)

ActionScript:
  1. function isValidEmail(e) {
  2. if (e.indexOf("@") != -1 && ( e.indexOf(".") > e.indexOf("@") ) ){
  3. trace("success");
  4. }else{
  5. trace("error");
  6. }
  7. }
  8.  
  9. //Test
  10. isValidEmail("test@test.com");
  11.

    very good one but what if you got an email like me.u@gmail.com ?
    it will return it false …

    How about like this ???
    if (e.indexOf(”@”) != -1 && ( e.lastIndexOf(”.”) > e.indexOf(”@”) ) ) {
    trace(”success”);
    }else{
    trace(”error”);
    }

    // a minimum a@a.us is require
    if ((emailString.indexOf(”@”) > 0) &&
    (emailString.lastIndexOf(”.”) > (emailString.indexOf(”@”) + 1)) &&
    (emailString.lastIndexOf(”.”)

    [code]
    function is_valid_email(email:String):Boolean {
    var emailRgx:RegExp = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+@(([a-zA-Z0-9-])+.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
    ///^[a-zA-Z0-9][-._a-zA-Z0-9]*@([a-zA-Z0-9]*.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/;
    trace(emailRgx.test(email));
    return emailRgx.test(email);
    }
    is_valid_email(”c@j.co”);
    [/code]
