I've been at it non-stop for 2 days. I cannot figure this out. I am on the server, as you all helped me with, 'www.utsav.f2s.com' . . . I downloaded the source from the flashkit guestbook (the map one because it looks cool) . . I've tried and tried to get it working. I've edited the FLA and the CGI like they told me to, but with no avail. What's wrong? can anyone help me? What is a base directory? What's going on? I hate to be a bother, but i'm extremely extremely frustrated. if anyone needs it, email me for my F2S account password etc. Reply on the board if you can. Thanks a lot.
