var errorCount:Number = 0;
//check to see if there are at least two chars be for the @ symbol
if (emailStr.indexOf(“@”)<2) {
errorCount++;
}
//check that the @ is not within 2 chars of .
if (emailStr.lastIndexOf(“.”)<=(emailStr.lastIndexOf(“@”)+2)) {
errorCount++;
}
//check length eg min aa@bb.cc
if (emailStr.length<8) {
errorCount++;
}
//check there is only one @
if (emailStr.indexOf(“@”) != emailStr.lastIndexOf(“@”)) {
errorCount++;
}
// return a T/F to the flash file
if (errorCount == 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
