getting 1083: Syntax error: else is unexpected

akuria · 11-06-2011, 12:58 AM

i am getting this error in my code in flash builder. here is the code i have:

protected function submit_appointment_clickHandler():void
{
var Sender:String = "";
var Email:String = "";
var HomePhone:String = "";
var CellPhone:String = "";
var Address:String = "";
var City:String = "";
var State:String = "";
var ZipCode:String = "";
var Comments:String = "";
var Interests:String = "";
var Type:String = currentState;

var evValidEmail: ValidationResultEvent = emailValidator.validate();
var evValidName: ValidationResultEvent = nameValidator.validate();
var evValidCellPhone: ValidationResultEvent = cellValidator.validate();
var evValidHomePhone: ValidationResultEvent = homeValidator.validate();

if (evValidEmail.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
&& evValidName.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
&& evValidCellPhone.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
&& evValidHomePhone.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID)

else{
resultLabel.text="There are Form errors";
resultLabel.setStyle("styleName", "invalid");
}
}

any help would be appreciated

I see a few syntax errors in your code. Try this

PHP Code:


			
protected function submit_appointment_clickHandler():void
{
    var Sender:String = "";
    var Email:String = "";
    var HomePhone:String = "";
    var CellPhone:String = "";
    var Address:String = "";
    var City:String = "";
    var State:String = "";
    var ZipCode:String = "";
    var Comments:String = "";
    var Interests:String = "";
    var Type:String = currentState;

    var evValidEmail:ValidationResultEvent = emailValidator.validate();
    var evValidName:ValidationResultEvent = nameValidator.validate();
    var evValidCellPhone:ValidationResultEvent = cellValidator.validate();
    var evValidHomePhone:ValidationResultEvent = homeValidator.validate();

    if (evValidEmail.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
        && evValidName.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
        && evValidCellPhone.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
        && evValidHomePhone.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID)
    {
        resultLabel.text="Thank you.";
        resultLabel.setStyle("styleName", "valid");
    }
    else
    {
        resultLabel.text="There are Form errors";
        resultLabel.setStyle("styleName", "invalid");
    }
}

Your strict data typing for ValidationResultEvent variables had a space after the : so that wouldn't work. You had an else nested inside of an if which wouldn't work either. The code above should work. If it doesn't give us the line number that the error occurs on as well.

i did the changes and that error went went away only to give me another error at another spot. here is the code:

i put a mad face on the line where i am getting the error

I didn't know you had more code. It helps to post all of your code. In the future please do so. Remove the last } after this

PHP Code:


			
if (evValidEmail.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
&& evValidName.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
&& evValidCellPhone.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID
&& evValidHomePhone.type == ValidationResultEvent.VALID)
{
resultLabel.text="Thank you.";
resultLabel.setStyle("styleName", "valid");
}
else
{
resultLabel.text="There are Form errors";
resultLabel.setStyle("styleName", "invalid");
}
}

PHP Code:


			
<mx:Label id="resultLabel"/>

i added this line of code to the declarations area of the code.

Okay that is fine and all but what are you going to do with it? You haven't added it to the timeline or anything.

I guess I'm not too familiar with how flex apps work. Don't you have to tell flex where to display the label?

I don't know. I guess that's why i am asking.

You don't put display elements in the Declarations tag like that; they would go in a Group/HGroup/VGroup that is your main content body, or some other element you are adding. The Declarations tag is for non-visible elements like services, validators, and effects.
