flash form validation functions

[Mike Nimer]

had to play around with it, turns out you can't put that complex of
actionscript in the bind attribute. But if you use a button, or anything
with a onClick or onChange event you can do it.

try this
--------------
<cfform format='flash' width='250'>
<cfinput type='text' name='prefix' label='Prefix'>
<cfinput type='text' name='firstname' label='First Name'>
<cfinput type='text' name='lastname' label='Last Name'>

<cfinput type="Button" name="checkname" value="check name" onClick="if(
prefix.text.length != 0 && firstname.text.length != 0 &&
lastname.text.length != 0 ){ completename.text = prefix.text +' '
+lastname.text +',' +firstname.text; } else { completename.text = 'Name Not
Complete';}">
<cfformitem type='hrule'></cfformitem>

<cfinput type='text' name='completename' label='Full Name'>


</cfform>
