The PHP file better be called with http protocol rather than file protocol... In other words, publish your movie along with the HTML file, and open that HTML file within the web browser by using http protocol..

Well... It's working just fine... ;)
http://CyanBlue.FlashVacuum.com/tmp/GuestBook/GuestBook.html

This is what I did...

Unzip the ZIP file...
Open up the FLA file into the Flash...
Publish the HTML & SWF file...
Upload the HTML, SWF, PHP and TXT file to the server which supports PHP...
Change the file permission of the TXT file to 777 as it says in the instruction...
Test the site with that given URL...

It's working just fine... ;)

Hi....CyanBlue

Sorry....I got trouble with my computer for days so our consultation halted :(

I think I have not changed the file permission of TXT file to 777...
but I dont understand what it means....as I know the name of TXT file is guestbook.txt .....does it means I got to change it become 777.TXT :confused:

as u know I try it in my computer (localhost)


many thanks

No... The file name should be remaining as guestbook.txt...

Read this page to learn some more on the file permission...
http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=22

And, if you still cannot change the file permission to 777 or read/write, you might want to ask your host how to do it specifically... (There are lot more examples/howtos on the Internet... Do some searching with 'chmod' to find more information...)
