guestbook being loaded into another movieclip problems

[nobody_sr]

hello
i´m from germany..so.. i apologize for any english mistakes

my problem is:
i am building a website in flash..everything works fine
but the guestbook doesn´t want to work properly
i have a menu on the top..when i´m clicking on the guestbook-menu
the guestbook should be loaded in a movieclip below..soo
it doesn´t matter what you are clicking on... every new page is loaded into
the movie clip below..
this wasn´t really difficult..
but the problem is.. that i´m working on this for about 3 months and i just dont get this working -.-
i also found this guestbook in another version..
this was already in another movie clip..so.. that you could just
cope and paste it in my website.. but.. even this doesn´t work
soo.. you might think... okay..
i need to chance this file (i forgot the name) to 777
and stuff.. or maybe i need to chance this movie-clip level stuff..thing
in the action script...
i tried everything ^^
i did even get this to work.. just fine...
but then the problem...was.. that you could send anything
you didn´t need to enter a name or what ever
it didn´t check if you´ve entered a name..or a massage..you could press send anytime...
so i really need some help here.. i mean...seriously
i´m working on this for 3 months.. and our "band-website" can´t go online
only because of this...

so one more time...
i have a movieclip on _root
if i press a button the guestbook needs to be loaded into this movieclip
and everything should work
thats about it XD
i hope you can send me a flash-file so i can copy and paste it..
if thats to much work... please tell me the set up and all the action script stuff

i really hope you can help me

so you are new to flash?
which version are you using?
how you load the movieclip (using a loader, what AS-Commands are you using)?
are you aware of levels and paths inside of flash applications?

I know, you ask a question, and I return to you with even more questions - but it is essential that we are talking about the same things.
Flash has changed with the versions.

And!: dont worry about your english - the most users here are not originaly speaking english.

actually...i´m not new to flash...
i´m jusing adobe flash cs3

but i can´t find out where the problem is ^^
i uploaded a zip file where you can take a look at
i deleted everything thats unnecessary
i have 3 files in the zip
one cs3 file... von flash 8 document file
and the guestbook file i want to load in

if you need anything more..just say it

soo... once more
if you click on "gästebuch" (its german ^^)
the guestbook should be loaded into "sr_content"
i cope and paste the movieclip from the "guestbook2" file into my page
so i don´t need to load another .swf file
all the other menu pages are being loaded the same way

(its half a MB big)

i dont understand how this should be working, if you are not loading a movieclip into another movieclip.
Could you give a link to a life server?

If I got you right - the clip does not load at all? do you receive any message?
Are you aware of the difference between capital und non capital letters?
(Groß- Kleinschreibung)
Which server system are you using? Where is it hosted?

hi

also...klar lade ich n movie clip
aber..es is nich so dass ich ne externe swf datei lade
sondern einen movie clip der schon in der bibliothek drinn is

und...dieser movieclip"gästebuch" lädt auch
aber der funktioniert nich richtig
z.B. will der den text nich anzeigen... wenn man aber eine nachricht senden..steheh plötzlihc alle texte da?!
wenn ich irgendwie dran rumschraub... dann steht der text da.. aber wenn ich ne nachricht senden will..dann überprüft er nimmer ob ein name etc. angegeben wordn ist.. und lauter so faxen... darum bitte ich um eine kleine erklärung bzw. tutorial wie ich dieses gästebuch einstellen muss..damit ich es "aus der bilbiothek" in einen movieclip laden kann

mfg

for addressing it makes no differenc, if you load an external clip or an internal one.
Paths are changing.
This is why the variables and components are not filled as expected.
If you are running CS3, you should get used to object oriented programming

now i finally found out what the problem is! XD
if i publish my project normally... it doesn´t work
but if i publish the originially downloaded flash file..it does
and now i know why it didn´t work when i was copy pasting it ^^
i publish-settings where flashplayer 9
and actionscript 2

thats the problem... if i chance this to flashplayer5 and actionscript1
everything works fine..but then... my entire website behaves badly
sooo what do i need to chance to get the guestbook to work with actionscript 2 XD
(sry for stealing your time ;P
maybe this was discussed 100 times... but i couldn´t find another topic about this...)

[Ronald Wernecke]

Is it the Version 1 ?

In this case, the GuestBook is written for Flash5 using AS1.

Do the loading and saving tutorials to learn how to adapt it to AS3.

You will see, that using AS3 makes things easyer

[nobody_sr]

i´ve heard about the loading and saving tutorial a couple of times before
i tried to find it..but i didn´t
even the search-field didn´t find it... i think this search thing here doesn´t work at all... for me ^^
so could you please send me the link

thank you
