PHP Enabled Example here! (try posting here)
Overview
Cam Comments was born from the question, “How can we take Flash’s incredibly cool ability to utilize webcams and apply it to something useful?”. I decided that adding webcam support to a comment system / guestbook would be both fun and useful. On top of this, I wanted an interface that was clean, quick to load, and I wanted to be able to manage it through XML . Cam Comments is the result!
Cam Comments currently boasts the following features:
What you need
Cam Comments requires that you have a PHP enabled web host. Most web hosts support PHP but please double check that yours does before purchasing.
FAQ
“I’m tring to preview this on my computer but I can’t post comments. What Gives?”
In order to post comments the files need to be run from a PHP enabled web server.
“OK, so it’s now up on my server and I know my server has PHP but I still can’t post comments. What should I do?”
Make sure that the variable, '_global.exporterLocation', (located on the 'AS variables' layer of comments.fla) correctly points to the BitmapExporter.php file located on your server. Relative paths will not work, use the full address. For example:
_global.exporterLocation
= "http://www.mysite.com/comments/BitmapExporter.php"

Hi, I’m having some trouble posting comments. When I click the submit button to post a comment, “Uploading photo, it’ll be just a moment” appears and it gets hung there. The email notification goes through successfully, but the comment never gets posted. Please help asap. Thanks.

Sorry everyone for the delayed response during the holidays…
@ gluegl: While there isn’t a simple variable to change the width of the file, it’s not too difficult to do…
1. Open comments.fla and find the layer called ‘AS Functions’. Check out the actionscript for this frame. At lines 12 and 13 you’ll find variables called ‘movieWidth’ and ‘movieHeight’. Change these to your desired movieclip size, so in your case change the width to 200.
2. In the library, open the movieclip called ‘comment’. Resize the various elements of this movieclip so that the total width is no greater than your desired width (in your case 200 pixels). Since that size is so thin, I would probably move some of the text fields around so that they were overlapping each other. Play with it and see what you think works best!
@montgomerie”>@montgomerie : While I can’t say for certain whether using chinese characters is possible, I do know that both flash and XML support UTF -8. By changing the fonts within the few movieclips that comprise this file to ones that support chinese characters, I’m pretty confident you’ll be able to write and save comments with chinese characters. Sorry for not being able to give you a definite answer!
@mind:”>@mind: While there isn’t a simple variable to change the width of the file, it’s not too difficult to do… Take a look at the response I left for gluegl.
@uceceo:”>@uceceo: Be sure you have correctly defined the ‘_global.exporterLocation’ located on the ‘AS Variables’ layer of the flash file. Also be sure that when you load the comments.swf that you first define the _global.commentsFolder. See example below…
_global.commentsFolder = “comments/”
commentsHolder.loadMovie(commentsFolder+”comments.swf”
@rionasta_2605:”>@rionasta_2605: Make sure you are testing the file on a PHP enabled server. The comments will not be saved if you are just testing this locally.
