Ok .. here's the situation. I've downloaded an ASP driven guestbook, massaged the design to my liking and made, what I believe to be the appropriate changes to the ASP script. But when the guestbook is opted, it hangs up on "read entry" and never loads the anything. I believe that all my directory paths are correct, and all that, but nothing works. The actionscripting in the flash movie are pretty much a cut and paste deal with changes to the button paths to lead to the ASP scripts. I've been toiling with this for nearly 6 hours straight, so maybe I just need sleep. But you'll forgive me if my questions seem a bit inane, I hope. Does the accompanying .txt file need to be in the directory with .swf file or with .asp file as my server requires them in seperate directories. I'm admittedly not an ASP guru .. just starting with it, in fact. Should any reference to the .txt file within the script be an absolute path refernce? (ie strCountFileName=server.mappath("gb.txt")or strCountFileName=server.mappath("/scripts/gb.text") depending on location) [does that make sense?]
one last thing .. and this may sound really stupid. But I just discovered that my host (DomainDlx.com) states that the Scripting.FileSystemObject "has been disabled due to security reasons." Is there a work around for this or am I just screwed? I can't use cgi or PHP3 due to "resource depletion" .. and chose DomainDLX for free ASP hosting in the first place. Does this lack of Scripting.FileSystemObject use pretty much nullify my guestbook? Ack!! I'm so confused ....
Any help would be a godsend right now ... *le sigh*
Thanks
CJ
