Shoutbox flash/php&mysql

Hi,
I've made a shoutbox using flash/php&mysql with the help of this ( http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/f.../page001.php#11 ) tutorial. I've modified(?) it to my site and everything is workign fine exepct i'm getting some numbers and i don't know where are they coming from, see for yourself ( http://www.members.lycos.nl/amstelonline/test.html , the message delay is 5 sec)
here's the actionscript code ( think that the error is somewhere there but i'm really new with flash so i don't know for sure)

PHP Code:

---

System.useCodepage = true;
format = new TextFormat();
testo.html = true;
function formatText(textBox,ita,siz,Bold,colour){
format.italic = ita;
format.size = "65";
format.bold = Bold;
format.font = "Verdana";
format.align = "center";
format.color = "#000000";
textBox.setTextFormat(format);
}
testo.text = "Loading news...";
formatText(testo,false,65,true);
temp = new LoadVars();
temp.load("[url=http://members.lycos.nl/amstelonline/getdata.php]http://members.lycos.nl/amstelonline/getdata.php[/url]" );
temp.onLoad = function(){
myArray = new Array();
for(var a in this){
if(a != "onLoad" ){
myArray.push(this[a]);
}
}
testo.htmlText = myArray[1];
formatText(testo,false,65,true);
var oldt = getTimer();
var ok = true;
var l = myArray.length;
var i = 2;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
t = getTimer();
if(t-oldt>5000){
testo.htmlText = myArray[i+1];
formatText(testo,false,65,true);
if(i<(l-2)){
    i += 2;
}else{
    i = 0;
}
oldt = getTimer();
}
};
};

Yes someone knows, first off it appears you are using Flash MX, but you are using Flash 5 script in the form of getTimer to cycle your array. I did it slightly different and I don't get the numbers you do. I use Flash MX's setInterval to run a function every 5 seconds that shows and item from the array. If the counter variable reaches the length of the array - 1 it resets to 0 or else it increments by one.

Code:

---

System.useCodepage = true;
myArray = [];
myURL = "http://members.lycos.nl/amstelonline/getdata.php";
format = new TextFormat();
testo.html = true;
function formatText(textBox,ita,siz,Bold,colour){
 format.italic = ita;
 format.size = siz;
 format.bold = Bold;
 format.font = "Verdana";
 format.align = "center";
 format.color = colour;
 textBox.setTextFormat(format);
}
testo.text = "Loading news...";
formatText(testo,false,12,true, 0x000000);
temp = new LoadVars();
temp.load(myURL);
temp.onLoad = function(){
 for(var a in this){
  if(a != "onLoad" ){
  myArray.push(this[a]);
  }
 }
 showItem();
};
cnt = 0;
function showItem() {
 trace ("Showing item");
 testo.htmlText = myArray[cnt];
 formatText(testo,false,12,true, 0x000000);
 if(cnt == (myArray.length-1)) {
  cnt = 0;
 }
 else {
  cnt++;
 }
}
myInterval = setInterval(showItem, 5000);

Thanks i've used your code but im still getting those numbers and now i'm also getting some other thing (like "> :confused:).

Maybe it's something with my php, im gonna post it so you could take a look

<?php

$database = "******";
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","******","******") or die ("Server off-line");
mysql_select_db($database);

$query = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY datum ASC";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error query");

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

for($i=0;$i<$num_rows;$i++){

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

$news = "news$i";
$news = $row['bericht'];

print("&news$i=$news");

}

mysql_close($connect);

?>


Or maybe u just could send me the *.swf file cause u didn't get the number and used the same * .php file.
P.S. I've put the all the files in a folder /ticker (ticker/getdata.php, ticker/news.swf etc)

Its most definitely that lycos code that gets put in that is causing the problem. I assume its there because this is a free hosting account. I am not sure how to get around this. Maybe writing the data to a text file when it changes and calling the text file from flash.

Thnks, that's what i was thinking too.

I'm gonna try something else then :)
