Dowload FLA that will run when loaded into any level or MC......

[Doug Hyde]

I have it loading as an external swf, but i may change it to a movie clip. Stand alone, the tab button makes it go from field to field, but when its in the movie clip, tab also changes to selecting other things on my site.

can anyone help me out. do i have to buy a new flash ?

Hey.

I read all the posts here about the old Guestbook, and I couldn't find an answer to some question posted here which I encoutered myself.

Movie loads fine, but then previous and next buttons don't work or pop up a page with text on it.

I can't use the new version Guestbook because I don't have access the the db on my server.
can someone fix the updated fla? I tried playing with the script by adding my url, but still nothing.

Hi Al.

If you can put a link to your fla I can take a look at it. Or send me a private mess and I'll give you my e-mail so you can send your fla.

I'll try and help you through this one, I've learned quite a bit about that GuesBook over the last week or so.

First of all, what no one tells you is that the GuestBook.fla and it's txt file have to be in the same directory as your main html that plays all of your swf files.

try and be specific about your problem and I'll walk you through it.

Which text file are you referring to?

Hi together,

First of all, what no one tells you is that the GuestBook.fla and it's txt file have to be in the same directory as your main html that plays all of your swf files.

this is not exactly right, but it helps beginners

On thing is sure, you got to know where you stored it, and give the exact path in the script.
It is essential, that all related files reside at the same domain (dont need to be the same folder).
And, if yoi install it on a professional server, which usualy is running under UNIX/LINUX, you have to take care of the exact writing of all filenames, because UNIX knows the difference of capital letters in folder- and filenames.

If you use relative addressing, remember this:

. means current folder, .. means parent folder.

well i guess...i'm late posting this issue, but rather late then not  ...

first i have the same problem to...but i have solve it....

first  - upload those 3 file (GuestBook.php, GuestBook.fla and GuestBook.txt) in to same  folder at your web server, i put them at /public_html/flash/GuestBook/

Second - at main time line at "loadactions layer" you must type exactly your GuestBook.php file directory, i change it from "http://flash-db.com/..bla..bla.." into "flash/GuestBook/"

third - go to submit button and in action box find loadvariables "GuestBook.php+"&NumHigh...
(its at the bottom of the code) type your directory in front of "GuestBook.php" , i add it with my directory so it become... loadVariables("flash/GuestBook/GuestBook.php?NumLow="+....

repeat the step 3..to add directory for next 10 button and previous 10 button....

thats all guys.... hope this solve all the problem....

Hi Chris,
if flash tells you, that the format does not match, you can bet, its a newer version.
After flash5 is old, it will not be supported anymore.
Even though, if you have questions to flash 5, you will still get answers here at the board.
We even have a section especialy for those still using outaged versions (before flash 6).
Maybe this year even flash 6 will be moved there, after we will have flash 8 out

I got a problem with the guestbook working in my flashfile. The guestbook text field only loads the guestbook.txt when a new message is added. When I enter the guestbook section on my website, it doesnt load, until I click submit. Then I see all the first 10 entires. There's also a problem with loading the next and previous 10 entries.

This is how I've placed the different mc's:
_root.mainmovie.guestbook

In the root I've got two used frames. These are a preloader in 1 and the mainmovie in frame2.
The mainmovie controls all the other movies. The guestbook is placed in frame5 with a label called guestbook. This frame holds a movie called guestbook. The guestbook is placed in frame 1 in the guestbook movie.

I've copied the guestbook from flash-db into frame 1 of the guestbook movie, actionscripts and everything. Still I've got the problem. When loading the original the guestbook loads fine. What have I done wrong. Do I need to specify the path in the php script? And how?

Anyone who can help me?

Hi,

I have the GBv2 running, and it works great, but I am using it in my gallery section, and at this point, it means potentially hundreds of files...which is fine, but it also means every time I change the actual guestbook/image interface, i.e., the .fla, and publish, I will need to republish it hundreds of times manually.

Can I take these lines (this and the others which reference a file):

newEntry.sendAndLoad("../images/im1_1.php?action=write&r="+random(999), newEntry, "POST")

...and somehow instead of asking to retrieve im1_1.php (or im1_2 or 2_19 etc.) can I write this in a way that allows me to take the XML-loaded variable from my gallery, and use THAT as the reference?

In other words, how could I go about something like this:

newEntry.sendAndLoad("../images/variableNameFromMyXMLfile.php?action=write&r="+random(999), newEntry, "POST")

where "variableNameFromMyXMLfile" is a pre-existing variable (for example "im1_1") in the XML, which is loaded in the root movie (the guestbook is 1 clip down in the chain. That variable already exists and I use it in various ways, just not sure how I could use it here so I only have to have 1 actual gallery/guestbook swf.

Any suggestions Guys? Is this possible?

Thanks,
Shawn
