Add an Email validation to this for flash

[Wulfgen]

Hello All,
I have this script in a form I downloaded from "Peopleforfun.com" It is a simple PHP email form and it works just fine - however - the form works regardless of whether it has a valid email address or not! Is there a way to add a validation script to the existing script to make it somewhat more functionable? Code is shown here:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (nome.length>0 && address.length>0 && address2.length>0 && email.length>0 && comment.length>0) {
		mc1.onRollOver = function() {
			with (this) {
				colChange = new Color(txt);
				colChange.setRGB(0x6699cc);
				gotoAndStop(2);
			}
		};
		mc1.onRollOut = mc1.onReleaseOutside =function() {
			with (this) {
				gotoAndStop(1);
				colChange = new Color(txt);
				colChange.setRGB(0x1E3F66);
			}
		};
		mc1.onRelease = function() {
			nextFrame();
		};
	}
};
// this check the input text are filled, as you can see the submit button is disable until you fill all the forms

String.prototype.isEmail = function() {
    var i, stringLength, invalidChars;
    stringLength=this.length;
    invalidChars = "*|,\":<>[]{}`';()&$#%";
    for (i=0; i<stringLength; i++) {
        if (invalidChars.indexOf(this.charAt(i)) != -1) {
            return(undefined);
        }
    }//End for loop
    if(this.indexOf("@") == -1) return(undefined);
    if(this.indexOf(".") == -1) return(undefined);
    return(true);
}

usage

emailAddress = "bill"
if(!isEmail.emailAddress){
trace("invalid email");
}

Do I simply append this to the existing script? or is there something else? Please forgive my ignorance... :-(

add to initial if statement

&&email.isEmail

add the prototype to the main frame code
