I am stuck... what I need to do is make an input text form field that is required to have the user input an email address before moving on to the next scene... is there a way to accomplish this using actionscript?

just validate the input field (we'll call it "myFieldText") using something like:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
if ((myFieldText.indexOf("@") > 1) && (myFieldText.indexOf(".") > (myFieldText.indexOf("@") + 1)) {
// go to the next scene
} else {
// stay on this scene and give them an error message
}
</pre>
My code might be off, but hopefully you get the idea. Basically, you check the string for an @ and a . in the order of "X@X.X" where the X's can be anything. There has to be one or more characters, then an "@", then one or more characters, then a "." for the address to be valid.

Does that help?
