AS3 to obtain flash vars

var flashVars:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
trace(flashVars['variable name']);

Here's an example to test email addresses using regular expressions:

var pattern:RegExp = /^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]@[a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$/;

var goodEmail:String = "nick@thewhitewood.com";
var badEmail:String = "nick@thewhitewood";

trace(goodEmail, " is valid:", pattern.test(goodEmail));
trace(badEmail, " is valid:", pattern.test(badEmail));

Ran into an issue using multiple text links within an html field to call functions. Being that the textfield will only listen to the type of event - it is not possible to set different outcomes for different links as the eventListener is triggered by the listener set on the textfield. A little trick using the event.text function will allow you to see the name of the function being called.
