I followed the tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml\_guestbook.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml_guestbook.htm)  
but somehow my next and send buttons freeze when I click them? I copied and pasted the code and instanced named the objects exactly as stated in the tutorial. The only thing changed was the images and the scrollbar but it still doesn’t work

here is my version

and here is the tutorials version

[http://www.vividambience.com/guestbook.swf](http://www.vividambience.com/guestbook.swf)

they both are on my site and are drawing on the same xml and php file, so it is not a problem with the servers side.

the only problem I can think of is the instance names or paths are wrong but I have checked and everything seems to be in place. Could someone mind taking the time and check to see what is wrong?

here’s my fla

and here’s the tutorials files

Just in case someone wants to compare them
