  1. can someone help me, please?

    TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null.

  2. Hi Adam, Superb tutorials! Im hitting the following message when the compiler tries to run the complete handler function within requestEntries:

    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
     at AS3_Adam_MySQL_Guestbook_fla::testimonials_1/completeHandler_re()[AS3_Adam_MySQL_Guestbook_fla.testimonials_1::frame1:27]
     at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
     at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
     at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

    Any ideas as to what the issue is? It appears it cannot run the completeHandler function.

    Thanks

  3. Very Nice! I got it working. My first AS3 project. One issue has eluded me thus far. The echo return_msg back to flash is giving the $name of the first poster not the current poster. Beyond the db connectivity info, I have not altered the php file. This is also found in the video @ 4:36-4:46 when Jessica's comment is added. Can't find forums to search for fix. Not a big deal, I'll remove the $name from the echo.

  4. es absurdo no incluir el codigo en los archivos de flash, porque por mas que se copia como se ve en el video, salen errores, es una verdadera perdida de tiempo y mal realizado este tutorial 🙁

  5. I have the same problem. I created the table in Mysql on godaddy. I tested the connection and it connected fine. but for some reason I get "waiting for server connection". Please help! Do anybody know the fix for this, why it will not connect?

  6. can any body help me out with this situation i have with the geustbook.
    Im having the same trouble with this guestbook as i have trouble with the chat tut.

    It wont send me any massage trough.
    It keeps getting stuck at waiting for server connection…
    I have the correct info to my database and i know this cause i tested it ofc 😛

    I hope some 1 can help me out.

  7. hello adam
    i just wanted to let you know the tut on the site you posted a link to a text tut for the actionscript 3 for those who have problems reading from the video
    this link is no longer working
    thank you

    i tried to post the link but youtube kept says error to my comment

  8. I am having an issue with the guestbook where it only allows me to post ONE comment to my mysql db and it doesn't return the post to be displayed in the guestbook (gbOutput_text). Is the gbOutput_text supposed to be Classic Dynamic or TLF Text? I have it set as Dynamic Text right now and so it will tell me that no data is available if I manually delete the ONE entry from the db. So that much works, its just not allowing more than one entry and its not returning anything. Please Advise!

  9. I' a little confused about the the end section of the tutorial. Can i use another program other than Dreamweaver? I'm designing my website in flash cs4 and intend to publish it through iweb.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  10. Ah,

    and i found another little tricky syntaxerror in it.
    The "userMSG" variable in Flash is different to the "userMsg" variable you type in the php-script, so it want work for me at first startup to send messages to the database.

    Solution: rename user.MSG in flash to user.Msg and it will work.

    But it is a great tutorial, lot of thanks

  11. i keep getting complier errors…. 1067, 2 error 1120, 2 error 1119, and 2 error 1136 exp: Symbol 'commentbox', Layer 'RequestEntries', Frame 1, Line 21 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip.
    ???

  12. Thanks for the tutorial! Very clear and informative. I just have a question. Will it be a lot more difficult if say I want to make it so that each entry appears on its own "card." They get to choose the out of 5 card designs. What I really want is for when people are viewing the guestbook, they'll click on one of the designs, the card enlarges and spin to the back where the message is written. Is that really difficult to do?

  13. I get the following error from the Adam Guestbook, and don't have a solution:

    Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
    at Error$/throwError()
    at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
    at flash.net::URLVariables()
    at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
