GuestBook Data saving

programming flash
1

hi… okay… i need advice for how i should do something in flash…

what i want to do is make a kind of guestbook thing… and what i need to do is just store the data of each post into a data file on the website…

I was thinking that i could do it with SharedObjects… as i know how to use them and that was what i was goin to try first… but… is this the best way to do it?? will it work on the web or will it only work locally on a computer…

Should i be using php or xml or somtin like that?? If so… how would i do that cause i dont have a clue at all… =S

Thanks in advance for you help… =)

I heard PHP is the best way, there should be a tutorial in the ‘best of kirupa’ section somewhere. I’ll see if i can find it :slight_smile: And what’d you mean by shared objects??

i think you use

getURL and use the POST method.

then, you use the GET method later on. Not too sure :-\ I couldn’t find the tutorial in the best of kirupa, may try a search in the flash MX section…

hmm… POST method… =S hmm. i have absolutely now experience with php pages… so… its all very confusing to me… but…

When i said about SharedObjects i meant these :http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary648.html

But do you know if these can be run of a server not of the local machine… =S
