[BNM] Flash "if" statement @

[Robert Stevens]

Seb, 

Thanks for your reply. 
Dunno, can't seem to get it working. 

Here's example of the code:
_root.form.my_btn.onRelease = function() {
	emailAddress = _root.form.email;
	if (emailAddress.indexOf("@")) {
		_root.gotoAndStop("no_error");
	}
};

Do I need to specify  'String' in here somewhere. Is
that it? 

Thanks,

Rob
