HELP: PHP Guestbook question

[s0me0ne]

Hi everyone,
I desperately need help for my guestbook here. Hope anyone could help me.
I have setted up my guestbook, it works but its own but when i load it from other .swf it wont work. I did CHMOD 766 to entry.txt was done, as you coud see it works by itself in guestbook.html

You can have a look at here.
http://www.absholute.com/test/updates.html

but when opening this ones...
http://www.absholute.com/test/updates/guestbook.html
it works!

So what i tried to do was getting the updates.swf to load the file in path of updates/guestbook.swf. But it showed undefined. I am sure most of you could be familiar with this. And here is the attachment of it.

Thanks alot!

Hi everyone,
Before I start my question, sorry to post twice. I thought i posted in the wrong board before? it was action script2 board. I think board this fits better, since its php.

Oddly enough, both your links work for me.....by itself and loaded into another SWF....

[s0me0ne]

what do you mean?
http://www.absholute.com/test/updates.html
that works?
it is auto load that. i just made it load the guestbook.swf straight away.

but when u try to open that updates.html
the guestbook wont work. it says undefined. for the guestbooklog

but when u try to open the guestbook by itself, which is this site
http://www.absholute.com/test/updates/guestbook.html
can u see that the guesbooklog contains somethings? u can even post new things if u wanna try in that guestbook.html

[Cota]

which function does the initial load?

[s0me0ne]

initial load swf u mean?
its from the updates.swf
i was trying to load this form (guestbook.swf) in my web from updates.swf
so the command inside updates.swf is just simply:
the 1st frame
stop();
holder_mc.loadMovie('updates/guestbook.swf');
thats it...

[Cota]

I meant within guestbook.swf, where is the function that loads the text file the first time.

[s0me0ne]

i think
// Create random number
randNum = Math.random() * 1000000;
// Create our LoadVars Object
myData = new LoadVars();
// Call to scripts for data
myData.load("entry.txt?" + randNum, myData, "POST");
// When all of our data loads ...

>>> this is the one... i guess...
myData.onLoad = function () {
gotoAndPlay("view");
}

[Cota]

Either its too early or I need sleep...try making it _global
_global.myData = new LoadVars();
Not even sure if that will work...but worth a try.

[s0me0ne]

ok. i'll try that see how it goes!
im goin to sleep soon. wonder who can help more too here....

[s0me0ne]

hmm its still undefined man...
anyway thanks alot for ur replies man... at least some tries...

any other can help?? please respond.. thanks...!

[s0me0ne]

anybody would help me here??? im not really familiar with codings.. but i think this wont be that hard for you guys that know really much..

[s0me0ne]

any other could help here???
i tried using _global.myData to all the codings but still not working.
still showing undefined :|
