example, in your guestbook, if your variables are loaded into the _root.
When you load it into another flash clip, in this case your main site, the _root is entirely different than your guestbooks' original _root destination.
So you have to change where you're pulling the variable from in your var settings of your text box.
Its never.. wow kool I like it, its always.. ok I made this.. how can it be better?
Thanks for the info. I still have questions I guess then about the variables.
In the guestbook, all the var's are loaded into the guestbooks root level - but called like for example in the Comments text field's Var is just called Comments, which is referenced in the php with that name as well.
So do I change it to _root.Comments? or _root.contents.Comments?
"contents" is the name of my movie clip in my MAIN movie that I'm loading all the movies, including the guestbook into.
For example, if the variable in the text box is normally 'textofbox'
it should be
PHP Code:
echo "&_root.content.textofbox=this is my text whoopdedoo! &";
Your other variables should be fine, it just doesn't load the content that is from your php file correct? if that doesn't solve your problem let me know.
*EDIT*
to be safe also, put _level0. in front of all the variables in your guestbook text boxes..
example _level0.comments
This tells the text box to go to the root of the document for the variable info, adding that little bit won't affect its performace as a stand alone swf either

Hey would you mind taking a look at the php & fla? The php file isn't defining the variables like normal. I've added the "&_root.contents." to it and also added the ".level0" before the flash variable, but nothing is happening.
I edited your PHP file and your Fla, alot of stuff was pointing to the _parent and _root sections of the stand alone guestbook, which would not work when loaded into another flash clip.
