send you name and message.  
history not forget this, since php file save all to text file.

```auto

//start code first frame //guest.fla
var url:String = "http://dnadillo.dn.ua/fla/js-swf-html/guest.php";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            variables.exampleSessionId = new Date().getTime();
            variables.user_name = "";
            variables.user_message = "";
 
request.data = variables;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
configureListeners(loader);
  try {
       loader.load(request);
      } 
  catch (error:Error) 
      {
      trace("Unable to load requested document.");
      }
 
 
function configureListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void {
            dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
         }
 
 
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
            var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
            trace("completeHandler: " + loader.data);
// trace("completeHandler: " + loader.data.GaleryScoresText);
            var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(loader.data);
            trace("The GaleryScoresText is " + vars.buff);
            my_out_txt.text=vars.buff+"

";
        }
