not flash MX alone. you will need to use PHP or ASP and databases… but yes it is possible. check out [www.phpforflash.com](http://www.phpforflash.com) I think is the link… ---

Yeah, but you need to use PHP/mySQL combined with Flash. Make sure you aren’t jumping ahead of yourself though. Jubba is writing up a tutorial on how to create a standard guestbook in Flash, that might help you out. This guestion has also been asked a lot in this forum, try using the forum search button and running a search. ---

I’ve created a small user based .txt file forum before! Using HTML and ASP… So If you can set up a PHP site that handles all the commands that you send to with FLASH… You can save them into a database or txt file databse and then have your flash read them… It would make a dman cool looking forum if someone made on in flash (begins thinking about it)… TOo bad I don’t have my favorite webserver anymore ☹ hehe Peace Out ---

though a forum with a flash interface would be cool, think of the download time and plug-in availability… im not sure if its such a good idea, though it sure is a cool idea=) just my two cents=) ---

It’s not that hard is it? well, you can modify the php files so it would be flash friendly, what you only need is, sendAndLoad, and onLoad, i did’nt say that its that easy, but again, it’s not hard… BTW how about downloading the source of the book, php for flash… ---

> \*Originally posted by lostinbeta \* > \*\*And jubba replies…lol. > Ya beat me this time :bad: \*\* hahahaha 😛 yeah, a small forum is possible. I made a guestbook, but it could me easily modified to create a small (very small) forum using just a text file and a PHP file or two. here is the link to that… [http://www.livetoskateboard.com/shoutbox/newPHP/shout.html](http://www.livetoskateboard.com/shoutbox/newPHP/shout.html) ---
