Activation process: e-mail validation with RegExp in AS3

August 2, 2009| Published in Code snippets 0

The technical part of the “activation” process in the .telexer application – making the call from the .telexer to the Plimus API to see if the license key is valid – was really easy. Just an xml-request to a secure url – wait for the response, and take it from there. But I wanted the [...]
