1. Here is a shoutbox that I created. Its all open source, so you can go ahead and just upload all the files to a directory. It uses PHP so make sure your server supports it. As for this one: 1. No. 2. No, not really. Here is the link: [http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12463&highlight=guestbook+php](http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12463&highlight=guestbook+php) ---

First THANKS:) gimme a link so i can put it on my site… second and third i got a few minor probs… well I moved everything a bit and all seemed to work untill i pressed post then the messages appear in the upper right corner instead of the middle where i wanted them… any way to solve it? is it in the actionscript or…am clueless other question i have one of these free php servers…it’s ok but kinda slow so i’d rather not put on my whole flash site there…is it possible to link to the php site without having any swf files but the shoutbox on it) (eg by LoadMovie…) now i can only do it but putting both the shoutbox and the main movie i load the shoutbox in… I know i sound a lil disconnected but i hope u know what i mean tnx for all the help GREATLY appreciated:ub: ---

Well the thing is that my actionscript is kind of a little messed up in that file. Because I was going for a specific look and in order to do that with only a text file I had to get really ghetto with the AS. You might wnat to try modifying the nXstart and nYstart variables. That might fix things, but i wouldn’t really know unless I knew what you wanted and I was looking at the file. if you could take a screen shot and show me exactly what you want it to look like I could probably tell you what to use… ---

Thank you for editing the URL, h88… Appreciate it… 🙂 I get to see the messages on the left side of the screen not within the ShoutBox… Is it intended??? I also see the popup browser with close confirmation alert… After that, I don’t get to see my post right away… I had to press post and press cancel to see the updated messages… ---

I haven’t been able to figure that out. I’m still working on it, and if I can get it to work then I will let you know. The problem is that you are using Load Vars() with the send comman and that opens another window… if you just use LoadVariablesNum it won’t do that, but then the guestbook won’t refresh correctly without a fix… I’m working on something. When I figure it out I will let you know. 🙂 Oh, and can you give me your URL? I would like to see your site once you get everything up. And if you want to give me credit then link to my skate board company’s website: [www.livetoskateboard.com](http://www.livetoskateboard.com) ---
