Need a little help on Flashmatazz's XML Shoutbox tut

1

Hey there folks,

I have a thread going on in the Flash section but it isn’t really related to Flash that much anymore. So I thought I’d ask it here since I need your advice on some xml and php oriented topics.
I was wondering if somebody could perhaps help me along with two little problems I have with the XML, PHP, Flash Shoutbox that Flashmatazz did a tutorial on.

I really like the shoutbox…however, I was wondering if it is possible to censor bad language so that when someone types a bad word and submits it it looks like this for example “f**k” if you know what I mean :S
My second question is. Is it possible to use custom made smilies like on this forum? I would like to add a button that links to a small pop up where people can select a smily…just like here.

Well thanks in advance everybody. :flower:

Hmmm, sorry man I don’t seem to be able to get it to work when loading from the XML file. :frowning:
I’ve been trying to do a string replacement but no luck thusfar.

I’m attaching the file so maybe somebody else can take a look.

btw, maybe this topic should be moved to the FMX2004 forum?

Ok well thanks for your help mate.

How do I get this topic placed over to the Flashmx forum?

a mod will have to do that.

maybe if I have some time tomorrow I’ll look into it once more 'cause I think it would be a cool feature for the guestbook.
