Some of you might be interested in this. I modified the Guestbook v2 script so that you can use an administration tool to edit or delete the entries. Here's the code for the Guestbook.php file:

Here's what I did:
I added two "actions" that the flash file can call to manipulate the database. One is 'edit' and the other is 'delete'. 'edit' simply updates a record and 'delete' deletes a record, obviously. I also turned the $numComments variable into a value that is passed to the php script by flash (I did this because in the admin tool I only wanted to display 1 record at a time instead of 10).
You can make a simple administrator by making a copy of the gbv2.fla file, I called mine gbv2Admin. In the 'write' movie I added a new "delete" button and instead of the "submit" button calling the 'write' action I had it call the 'edit' action so that it will modify the entry that is displayed. Likewise the "delete" button calls the 'delete' action to delete the record that is displayed. The 'edit' and 'delete' actions, unlike the 'write' action, also require that you pass the NumLow variable so the script knows which record you're working with. so the ActionScript on the "Submit" button looks like:
on(click){
/*
Modify these reference paths to yours if you
have changed them. Also modify gb_status
reference path if required
*/
yourname = _parent._parent.write.yourname.text;
youremail = _parent._parent.write.youremail.text;
yourcomments = _parent._parent.write.yourcomments.text;
// Check variable data
if (yourname eq "") {
_parent._parent.write.gb_status.text = "Required: Name";
} else if (youremail eq "") {
_parent._parent.write.gb_status.text = "Required: Email Address";
} else if (!youremail.length || youremail.indexOf("@") == -1 || youremail.indexOf(".") == -1) {
_parent._parent.write.gb_status.text = "Required: Valid Email Address";
} else if (yourcomments eq "") {
_parent._parent.write.gb_status.text = "Required: Comments";
} else {
_parent._parent.write.gb_status.text = "Please wait...";
newEntry = new LoadVars();
newEntry.ref = this;
newEntry.submit = "Yes";
newEntry.yourname = yourname;
newEntry.youremail = youremail;
newEntry.yourcomments = yourcomments;
newEntry.entryNum = Number(_parent._parent.read.low.text);
newEntry.sendAndLoad("GuestBook.php?action=edit&numComments=1&r="+random(999)+"&NumLow="+_parent._parent.NumLow, newEntry, "POST");
newEntry.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
_parent._parent.write.gb_status.text = this.gb_status;
_parent._parent.read.loadEntries("Default", 1);
// Clear fields
_parent._parent.write.yourname.text = "";
_parent._parent.write.youremail.text = "";
_parent._parent.write.yourcomments.text = "";
}
}
}
}
I know this is brief so let me know if there are any questions.
