Now, im trying to implement this shoutbox on my flash site and it all goes perfectly until I test it on my server and it wont post the message although I have followed the instructions to the letter.

Hi again Flep. Sorry, but I tried your last suggestion and am having the same problem. Any other suggestion?

[merlin]

im sorry but i forgot to mention in the last post that i uploaded your example and it worked perfectly but it seems to go wrong whenever i use the *loader* component for my flash movie. this is my first real attempt at flash so please be patient with me lol

[Flep]

Hi,
do you use Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE in your loader code ?

[merlin]

Hi Flep...here is what i have in my actions script for loader :

//--------Movie Clip Loader----------\\
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc,bytesLoaded,bytesTotal) {
extLoader_mc._visible = true;
var pctLoaded = Math.round(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal*100);
extLoader_mc.extLoaderBar_mc._xscale = pctLoaded;
if (bytesLoaded >= bytesTotal) {
extLoader_mc._visible = false;
}
}
mcLoader.loadClip("demo/shoutbox/main.swf",myLoader);
